An Indian student injured in firing in Kyiv

On the ninth day of the war, a fire broke out at the Zapojiria Nuclear Plant by Russian military firing that was extinguished by the fire fighters within a few hours. Earlier, Plant Director Alexander Starukh had also reported about the safety of Zaporizhia. Russian forces have captured the plant's administration and control building. No one was reported injured in the attack on the plant.

US President Biden spoke to Russia and appealed to allow emergency responders to enter Zaporizhia. Meanwhile, retired general VK Singh, who went to pick up Indians in Poland, informed that another Indian student has been shot in Kyiv, who is undergoing treatment.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said on Friday morning that Russia fired from all sides on Zaporizhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant. The fire has already broken out at the plant. If it exploded, it would be 10 times bigger than Chernobyl where there are 6 nuclear reactors. High levels of radiation have been detected near the site of the power plant. The plant makes up about 25% of Ukraine's electricity production.
