Fighting has stopped near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and background radiation levels are currently normal as a fire continued at the facility, a spokesperson at the plant said on Friday.

Spokesperson Andrii Tuz said the plant has not sustained any critical damage, although only one power generation unit out of six is operational.

In an earlier Facebook post, Tuz said at least one power generating unit at the nuclear plant was struck in the fighting. “A lot of technical equipment was hit,” he told CNN.

The fire in the building of the training center at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerhodar has been contained.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported this on Telegram.

"At 05:55, a fire in the building of the training center (size 60x40 m) at Zaporizhzhia NPP in Enerhodar was contained on an area of 2,000 square meters. According to preliminary reports, there are casualties," the statement said.

On the night of Friday, a fire broke out at the Zaporizhzhia NPP as a result of heavy weapons shelling by the Russian army.

One shell hit the first power unit, Zaporizhzhia NPP spokesman Andriy Tuz said.

Energoatom issued an appeal to the world community warning that the shelling was "a violation of the nuclear and radiation safety of Europe's largest nuclear facility, which could have serious and tragic consequences for the world."

Zaporizhzhia NPP said that Chechen fighters broke into the territory of the plant and want to lay mines at the plant.
