KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian firefighters have extinguished a blaze at Europe’s biggest nuclear plant. The fire was ignited by Russian shelling. Russian forces have seized control of the site and are pressing their campaign to cripple the country despite global condemnation. Ukraine’s state nuclear regulator said that no changes in radiation levels have been recorded so far after the Zaporizhzhia plant came under attack. No casualties have been reported. But the blaze caused worldwide concern. The shelling of the plant came as the Russian military advanced on a strategic city near where the plant is located, and gained ground in their bid to cut off Ukraine from the sea.
