Looked like they opened fire, caused a fire, emergency services attended but got stopped and buggered off then the Russians opened fire on the building again when they went.

Whatever building they hit looks to be out side of the main plant - it may be offices or visitor centre.

It's here that is being shot at and burning.

Spin round and you'll see the numbered reactors along with the building that has the CCTV we're watching at the end of the road that goes through the security checkpoint. So not sure why there's talk of elevated radiation levels in tweet in post above this one.

Putin might start concentration camps just like Hitler... but for his own people at this rate, how is he not dead? No one supports him other than his yes men seemingly.
 
Irrespective of the damage to the plant, the fact that they’ve been so reckless surely has to prompt NATO and/or Putin’s generals to seriously consider their next steps here.

I suspect the fire will be contained to a training centre / outer building and there won’t be a risk of meltdown but it doesn’t matter, the risk is real and surely this has to be a serious turning point. I honestly can’t believe they’d attack a Nuclear power plant.

Comment from there about the Swan Lake bit at the end.

Swan Lake signals to citizens that something had gone haywire, usually politically, in the Soviet Union.

“Swan Lake,” a tale of love, betrayal, magic, and swans, was composed by Pyotr Illich Tchaikovsky. The ballet’s aesthetic became almost militaristic, with identically-costumed dancers moving in synchronization. This display of unified pageantry was performed for every visiting dignitary of the Soviet.

As “Swan Lake” was something of a symbol of Soviet power, naturally, it became a symbol of Soviet decay. In 1982, television programs across the Soviet Union were suddenly interrupted and replaced with a full-length broadcast of the ballet. It would later be revealed that general secretary Leonid Brezhnev had died, and the broadcast had been an impromptu stalling tactic while a successor was decided upon. The ballet would be suddenly broadcast again upon the deaths of his successors, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko.

In August of 1991, “Swan Lake” appeared on television screens once again, after an attempted coup of Moscow. The broadcast would continue, uninterrupted, for three days, the soundtrack for the event that marked the end of the Soviet Union.

They also attacked Chernobyl, a decision that made even less sense, 2 nuclear potential disasters only needing a badly placed explosion to happen in less than a week.

Death might be but a short time away for him.

Some firing going on at the beginning of this video. It's in the distance from the same CCTV location as previously but earlier tonight.

I don't see any Firefighters in the CCTV feed where you would expect them to be so did they come back again? It's about an hour into this video from the start when they came the 1st time but you see the flashing lights all leave.
