Research published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society reveals the Chernobyl exclusion zone has become one of Europe's largest wildlife habitats, boasting a denser animal population and broader mammal species list than other areas in northern Ukraine.
A new study reveals the Chernobyl exclusion zone, sealed off for decades due to radiation, now supports more wildlife than protected areas in Ukraine, boasting diverse mammal species like wolves, lynx, and wild horses.
"While the fire has been localized, SESU rescuers jointly with specialists from the exclusion zone have continued to liquidate isolated smoldering hotspots, including on the peat fields," the Ukrainian Energy Ministry said
The radiation situation in Ukraine, including in the north of the Kiev Region, remains stable, the State Emergency Service said
Passengers are allowed back into Terminal 1 after an exclusion zone was established at the airport for roughly two hours.
