Russia's bombing of Ukraine's nuclear plant poses a major nuclear threat

Russia's shelling at Ukraine's largest nuclear  plant in the Ukrainian city of Inbodar set fire to the building of the nuclear plant.

Confirming the incident, Mayor Enerbodar said that a fire at Ukraine's largest nuclear plant will created a nuclear threat.

He added that Russian tanks had entered the city of Inarbodar, and that Russian attacks had caused significant damage.

Ukraine's foreign minister says an explosion at a nuclear plant could be 10 times more devastating than Chernobyl, adding that Russia should stop firing and allow firefighters to establish a security zone.

The United States has confirmed that the Russian military is only 25 kilometers from the center of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, while Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city with a population of 1.5 million, is devastated.
