Nuclear plant spokesman: Fires still burning, accident possible at any moment

The spokesman for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant says at least two reactors at the site suffered damage and warns “an accident can happen at any moment.”

“Many buildings are damaged and still on fire,” Andriy Toz tells CNN. He says firefighters still cannot access the site, though he also says Ukraine is in control of the plant.

He clarifies that no reactors have caught fire, though buildings at the site are going up in flames.

“We ask Americans to close the airspace of Ukraine,” he says. “Please help us.”

Ukraine’s emergency service says one fire is continuing to burn in a training complex and firefighting are not able to access the site.
