In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: A major forest fire has erupted in Ukraine’s Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, with Ukrainian officials saying Russian drone strikes triggered the blaze on June 25. Thick smoke from the burning area has spread across parts of northern Ukraine, with concerns rising over air quality in Kyiv. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service deployed more than 200 firefighters and around 60 units of equipment to contain the flames, as crews battle extreme heat, dense smoke and difficult terrain near the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Authorities said radiation levels in the fire zone remain within monitored limits, with no reported increase in radiation levels. Emergency teams continue firefighting operations while officials warn that changing winds could push smoke back toward the Ukrainian capital. The incident comes as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone remains a sensitive location during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. #chernobyl, #u
