The fire, which was recorded on August 11, stopped on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

This was announced by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, Serhii Lysak.

The fire at the NPP became known on Sunday, August 11. The Nikopol RVA reported that, according to unofficial information, the Russians set fire to car tires «in large numbers» in cooling towers. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the fire.

«Energodar We note from Nikopol that the Russian occupiers started a fire on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Currently, the radiation indicators are normal. But as long as Russian terrorists retain control over the nuclear plant, the situation is not and cannot be normal. «Since the first day of the seizure of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, Russia has been using it purely for blackmailing Ukraine, the whole of Europe and the world,» the president noted.

Already on Monday, August 12, the fire stopped.

«The level of radiation in Nikopol region is normal. We are keeping the situation under control,» said Serhii Lysak.

At the same time, the Rosatom company claims that the cause of the fire was allegedly an attack by Ukrainian drones on one of the NPP's cooling towers (it is a tower in which the steam that passed through the power plant's turbines is cooled and condensed).

We will remind that in the occupied Enerhodar, the Russians registered a military unit of the Russian Guard with a legal address that coincides with the address of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
