Russian forces ‘fire rockets at nuclear reactor’ in Kharkiv as officials warn of ‘large scale disaster’

Ukraine’s national security service warned the attack on the facility could lead to a “large scale ecological disaster”.

The service announced that the Russians were firing at the facility from Grad missile launchers.

And the attack comes just days after idiotic Russian forces shelled Europe’s largest nuclear power plant – setting it on fire.

Meanwhile, Russian forces are also said to be just 20 miles from another nuclear facility further raising fears.

Ukraine knows the dangers of nuclear energy more than any other country thanks to the disaster at Chernobly.

The poorly managed Soviet Union-run facility triggered the world’s worst nuclear plant catastrophe.

It rendered a large swathe of country uninhabitable and sent radiation across Europe.
