Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that emergency responders extinguished a fire that broke out following the strike. This event occurred amidst growing calls for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and during the Munich security conference, where the historical context of the Chernobyl disaster remains a focal point of international concern and dialogue.
The damage to the protective shelter at Chernobyl is significant, but no immediate radiation increase has been detected, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
