Bloomberg. Futures are down as well

Live feed of the shelling https://youtu.be/fYUT36YGOh8

“A government official told The Associated Press that elevated levels of radiation were detected near the site of the plant”

Closest I could find on Bloomberg, from this page: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-03/refugee-c...

But also in the same article: “..shells were falling directly on the Zaporizhzhia plant and had set fire to one of the facility's six reactors. That reactor is under renovation and not operating, but there is nuclear fuel inside, he said.”

So at worst a small-scale leak.

I'm not sure how you get "at worst a small scale leak" from "fueled nuclear reactor actively on fire".

it's irresponsible sensationalist propaganda by MSM

the IAEA has already confirmed the plant is fine

"#Ukraine tells IAEA that fire at site of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has not affected “essential” equipment, plant personnel taking mitigatory actions."

I get it's a war, but I can't take the news cycle anymore. Full of unconfirmed BS. Ghost of Kyiv, Snake Island, etc.
