A video live stream from the plant, which is the largest in Europe, showed at least one building in flames, as well as intermittent explosions, and a column of armored vehicles outside.

Russian forces were firing from all sides at Zaporizhzhia, according to Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister.

Denys Shmyhal, the country's prime minister, called for a no-fly zone over the facility, saying it was a question of the security of the whole world.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, issued a statement on Thursday urging fighters to refrain from fighting near the largest power plant in the country after receiving a letter from local authorities.
