Later in the morning, Ukraine’s nuclear inspectorate said Russian forces had captured the plant, which is a key supplier of the country’s electricity. A regional military leader said nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhia site was “ensured as of now,” while local authorities said the fire was extinguished as of 6:20 a.m. local time. Washington and Kyiv said there had been no increase in radiation levels.

Ukrainian officials said the blaze broke out after Russian shelling, while President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of “nuclear terror.” The White House demanded that the Kremlin halt military activities near the power plant, located in Ukraine’s southeast.
