Nuclear catastrophe was 'narrowly averted' after Russia's attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the US envoy to the UN said as the invasion of Ukraine intensified on Friday (March 4).
Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN security council in New York on Friday, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Friday morning's attack which caused a major fire at the Zaporizhzhia complex, was 'incredibly reckless and dangerous'.
"It threatened the safety of civilians across Russia, Ukraine and Europe', she added.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said several people were 'killed and injured' in the bombing. Ukraine said Russia risked a 'nuclear apocalypse' by attacking the power station, while Western leaders have expressed outrage at the incident. Boris Johnson said Putin’s actions were now 'directly threatening the safety of all of Europe'.
Meanwhile three children were killed in a strike on a small village, the Ukrainian authorities have claimed. Invaders shelled Markhalivka today, a village of just over 1,000 residents to the south of Kyiv, claiming five lives.
The Russians also killed 47 people in airstrikes using cluster bombs on the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, local authorities claim.
Tonight's other headlines include:
Ukraine's government today announced that more than 2,000 civilians have been killed, although the death toll is likely to be much higher. It also said that 9,200 Russian soldiers have lost their lives, while hundreds of tanks, almost a thousand armoured vehicles, and dozens of helicopters and jets have been captured or destroyed.
The civilian death toll is undoubtedly much higher as it has been impossible to access
