Russian forces fire on a nuclear research facility in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials say.

The Ukrainian parliament, citing the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate, says, “It is currently impossible to estimate the extent of damage due to hostilities that do not stop in the area of the nuclear installation.”

Russian forces have been accused of risking nuclear disaster in Ukraine by attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, and Chernobyl.
