With the conflict between Russia and Ukraine worsening, Russian military forces on Friday seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest nuclear plant, located southeast of Ukraine. Russia took control of the plant after shelling the facility, sparking a fire and raising fears that radiation could leak from the damaged power station. The chief of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog Rafael Mariano Grossi assured that there was no release of radiation at the Ukrainian nuclear plant. Grossi said the building hit by a Russian "projectile" at the Zaporizhzhia plant was "not part of the reactor" but instead a training centre at the plant.
