Power has been cut off from the former nuclear power plant at Chernobyl, according to Ukraine’s state nuclear energy company, which blamed the outage on actions by Russian troops who seized the facility nearly two weeks ago.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said there has been “no critical impact” to safety after Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and other officials issued a warning about a potential radiation leak overnight at the site of the 1986 nuclear accident.
