The radiation situation in Bulgaria is normal. This was stated by Tsanko Bachiiski, Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, during a press conference.

According to Dmitry Orlov, the fire broke out as a result of a Russian attack. Minutes later, the information was confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. The fire was later contained, and the Russian military said it had taken control of the plant.
