Is the nuclear plant being bombed and on fire for real confirmed?
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine IAEA blue-check birbsite says yes. Lots more at the Zaporizhzhia hashtag, mostly repeating shots of the same purported livecam. #ukraine
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Thumprhare I believe the bright spot in the still image there on the left is a starshell, not a fire, based on the video I have seen and the smoke it was emitting. The bright spot on the right may be a fire though
@formica @Thumprhare Oh thank you!
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Thumprhare @stueytheround yeah assuming the Russian commander isn't a maniac, this probably isn't a nuclear accident situation. Lotta lights gonna go out though if they shut the plant down.
This is a VVER-1000 design, not RBMK (Chernobyl style) legacy Gen 2 reactor. So not as dangerous in that sense, physically. Still a bad place for a firefight
