KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.N. and Ukrainian officials say no radiation was released from a Russian attack at Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant in Ukraine and firefighters have extinguished a blaze at the facility.

Russian forces are still pressing their campaign to cripple the country despite global condemnation.

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general said Friday the building hit by a Russian “projectile” at the plant was “not part of the reactor” but instead a training center at the plant.

Nuclear officials from Sweden to China also said no radiation spikes had been reported.
