Ukraine war: Russia evacuates town near nuclear plant – BBC News


A "severe nuclear accident" could occur at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as fighting is expected to intensify between Russia and Ukraine.

Around 18 settlements near the power plant, which has been held by Russia since the early days of the invasion, have been evacuated.

Ukraine has said the evacuation orders have sparked "mass panic" as Russia claims the move was due to an anticipated offensive by Kyiv.

The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency has said the situation at the power plant is "becoming increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous".
