Лесной пожар в Чернобыльской зоне отчуждения вспыхнул еще 4 апреля. Возгорание произошло около села Владимировка в Киевской области.
Несмотря на то, что всю неделю пожарные пытаются потушить огонь, пламя распространяется все быстрее. По уже достиг города Припять, расположенный в трех километрах от печально известной Чернобыльской АЭС. Именно на ней весной 1986-го взорвался четвертый блок, что стало крупнейшей атомной катастрофой.
По словам члена общественного совета при Госагентстве Украины по вопросам управления зоной отчуждения Ярослав Емельяненко, огонь практически подошел к хранилищам с высокоактивными радиационными отходами "Подлесный".
Пламя направляется к Чернобыльской АЭС, из-за дующего в ту сторону ветра.
Он отметил, что также в районе горит трава на дамбе водохранилища-охладителя по правому берегу Припяти.
Украинские правоохранители выяснили, что возгорание в Чернобыльской зоне отчуждения произошло из-за поджога. Личность злоумышленника уже установлена.
