They are continually firing into the building. It looks like the plant is quite big so no idea what part they are attacking.

Is it possible that is all just steam?

Edit - I didn't see any of the fire fight. So that would definitely change things.

The power plant camera is moving FYI for anybody catching up

Nope, feed is zoomed in on fire now

Or was for 10 seconds

Seen a couple of RPG's shot on the screen.

That's the nuke plant live stream. One of the office buildings is clearly on fire and a pretty big fire too. They panned the camera to the left and the actual reactor buildings still looked ok. There are 6 reactors at this site. This is getting pretty wild

This does show an explosion of some sort.

A flare just went up and all the car alarms went off again.

OMG - What is happening at the nuke plant?

This is SERIOUS escalation.

Both sides should have avoided conflict at the plant. Absolutely brainless.

(Absolutely the atrocities of all of this aside...and the real world application if something were to happen)....a fire fight outside of a nuclear reactor is metal as eff and reads like something out of 80s.

Good god! This is end of the Bible **** right here folks.

Another explosion. Bigger. Holy Crap. Please NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a feeling Russia is doing this to blame it on the Ukrainian terrorists. Get war support at home.

Probably the best unbiased assessment of Russian tactics and future operations I have seen from a former infantryman:

That sounds like a very reasonable and accurate assessment. I hope he's wrong.

This link above is an excellent thread on why Russian forces are bogging down all over Ukraine -- their preventive maintenance for military vehicles is very, very poor

(It's a valid link but TexAgs' twitter reply button disagrees, so whatever ... still a great thread)

Holy *****

Yikes

Shelling a nuclear plant….: that's a move that could get us all in this mix to shut this m'fer down….

It may be what they are wanting.

Russian tanks or armored carriers moved further towards bottom of screen. Can see troops on foot milling around

**Assuming they're Russian because they're the people who have been attacking a building part of a nuke power plant or next to it

I think this will trigger Europe to jump in. Good lord.

Are the vehicles down the middle lane Ukranian forces?

Doubtful. Same people that shot the building and set it on fire

Gonna have to remind here once it calms down. Must have missed that.

Or Europe will 'take care' of the artillery fire disguised as Ukranian drones.

Relatively certain that in middle of screen, where it is dark, those have to be muzzle flashes unless these military vehicles keep flashing their lights.

Sometimes, you can see that they are from headlights but that's when they're moving or constantly on

Having a nuclear reactor meltdown would be quite the way to get their gas back to market…

You can look up the overhead view on Google Maps. There's a lot of buildings in this complex. The building where the camera is sits between the vehicles and the actual power plants. Not sure what the building they are attacking is, whether offices or whatever. Hopefully it's not affecting ability to control reactors.

It could also be some sort of regional government building on site. The building apparently has a restaurant and bank inside of it.

If they wanted to destroy the plant they could've sent an airstrike.

Perhaps they are just trying to seize control of it and secure the site. This is a heck of a way to do it though.

Or create a buffer state with a nuclear wasteland

What is Musk's Starlink/Starnet/Skynet really capable of?
