This Day in History: Nuclear Disaster at Chernobyl

This Day in History: , Nuclear Disaster at Chernobyl.

April 26, 1986.

The disaster at Chernobyl, located about 65 miles from Kiev in the former Soviet Union, is the worst nuclear power plant accident to date.

50 tons of radioactive material was released into the atmosphere after an explosion of the Number 4 reactor, caused by an engineering experiment.

The 30,000 residents of the nearby community of Pripyat were evacuated the next day.

The Soviet government attempted a cover-up.

But two days after the disaster, radiation levels 800 miles away in Sweden were detected at 40% higher than the normal level.

32 people were initially killed in the Chernobyl plant.

5,000 Soviets eventually died from radiation-induced illnesses.

Millions of acres of forest and farmland across Northern and Eastern Europe were contaminated.

The former residents of Pripyat have never returned

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region. #RussiaWarning #BushehrStrike #IsraelIranConflict #ChernobylThreat #NuclearCrisis #MiddleEastTensions #Zakharova #PutinOnIsrael #RussianScientists #GulfRegionRisk #IsraelAirstrike #PeaceOnEdge #BreakingNews #RussiaVsIsrael #IranNuclearSite #GlobalSecurityThreat #UnpredictableConsequences #TimeForPeace #USRussiaTensions #IAEAWarnings #BushehrPlant #NuclearPowerCrisis Also Read Iran Fires 'Sejjil-2' Long-Range Ballistic Missile At Israel Amid Escalating Conflict.

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials [Video]

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant. #Putin #UkraineWar #WWIIMonuments #DeCommunization #NeoNazism #KurskRegion #RussianLegacy #UkraineConflict #RedArmy #PushkinStatue #CulturalErasure #PutinSpeech #RussiaUkraineWar #DeNazification #SovietLegacy #HistoricalRevisionism #UNESCOConcerns #KurskPowerPlant #UkraineAttack #KremlinNarrative #WarOfNarratives #EasternEurope #RussiaUkraineTensions #KievPolicy #UkraineNews #RussiaClaimsVictory Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

Putin's Agent Caught Planting Bomb in Ukrainian Apartment — SBU Foils Deadly Terror Plot in Rivne [Video]

Putin's Agent Caught Planting Bomb in Ukrainian Apartment — SBU Foils Deadly Terror Plot in Rivne

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has intercepted a Russian agent caught red-handed planting a bomb in a civilian apartment in Rivne, Western Ukraine. The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Lviv, was allegedly recruited via Telegram by Russian intelligence with promises of “easy money.” The device was intended to be detonated remotely in a densely populated city center, aiming to inflict maximum civilian casualties and spread fear. The suspect now faces terrorism-related charges, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives. Authorities say this plot is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting civilians far from the frontlines, often exploiting vulnerable individuals with criminal or addiction histories. This is yet another stark reminder that Putin’s war is not limited to the battlefield. #Ukraine #Russia #SBU #Rivne #TerrorPlot #RussianAgent #TelegramRecruitment #Putin #UkraineWar #SecurityNews #BreakingNews #CivilianTargeting #HybridWarfare #EasternEurope #WaronCivilians Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’ [Video]

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~
