Russia Sets Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant on Fire by Burning Tires in the Cooling Tower
Video Summary
A fire broke out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, with thick black smoke billowing from the cooling tower. The fire is believed to have been started by Russian forces burning tires as a sign of intimidation towards Ukraine. Despite Russia controlling the plant, Russian online sources are blaming Ukraine for the fire, a claim dismissed as “absolute twaddle”. The plant has not produced power since 2019 and was shut down for maintenance, with one of the six reactors being taken offline in April this year. A satellite image also shows that the fire is not hot enough to be detected by NASA or Google Maps. The incident is seen as a reckless and childish act of intimidation by Russia, which is being met with embarrassment and disappointment.
