Radiation levels in and around the Chernobyl nuclear power station have started to spike after Russia seized control of the area.

“After the absolutely senseless attack of the Russians in this direction, it is impossible to say that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is safe,” adviser Myhailo Podolyak said.
Shortly after the attack at the site, a Ukrainian official said Russian shelling hit a radioactive waste repository which prompted an increase in radiation levels.
The rise could not be immediately corroborated as experts were unable to access the repository to assess damage after Russia seized the plant.
But radiation maps appear to support this, as in the past 24 hours levels have risen by over 2,100 per cent.
Data monitoring the decommissioned plant show sensors have detected levels of gamma rays increased from 3,090 nSv/h at 8pm on 24 February to 65,000 nSv/h (234,000mSc/h) just two hours later...
