Forest Fire Ignites In Chernobyl Exclusion Zone After Drone Fall
Russia and Ukraine are mutually accusing each other of not respecting a unilateral ceasefire declared by Moscow for May 9th commemorations. Both sides report drone attacks, with one such attack triggering a forest fire in the Chernobyl exclusion zone in northern Ukraine. Local authorities have stated that no increase in radioactivity has been detected. Kiev announced a forest fire is currently burning in the radioactive zone of Chernobyl. The fire reportedly started after a drone fell in the area. Strong winds are complicating firefighting efforts. Radioactive radiation values in the area are currently within normal limits, despite a drone having crashed near the plant yesterday. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection noted that a forest fire around Chernobyl could potentially release deposits from the 1986 nuclear disaster.
