Military forces advanced on the city of Enerhodar, Ukraine, amid reports of shelling on March 4, at the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe.

The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said they were aware of reports of shelling at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and warned of “severe danger if reactors hit.”

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba said urged Russia to cease fire “immediately” after a fire erupted at the power plant.

In the early hours of Friday morning in Ukraine, the IAEA reported that there was no change reported in radiation levels at the plant.

This footage, streamed live on the Zaporizhzhia power plant’s YouTube page, shows explosions outside the plant and a building ablaze inside the power complex near a line of military vehicles. Credit: Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant via Storyful

Are you ‘far-Right’? Take our quiz!
We hear the term “far-Right” a lot these days. Or at least, we do if we get our news from the BBC, The Guardian or prominent Left-wing pundits. But what precisely do they mean by it? Unfortunately, they rarely say. They tend to just call a party, politician or group of voters “far-Right”, and leave it at that.
