Ukranian emergency services have confirmed they've managed to put out the fire at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant - a huge relief to everyone in the area and beyond, the BBC reports.

Ukraine said in the early hours of Friday that a Russian attack on the nuclear plant caused one of the buildings at the plant - a five-storey training facility - to catch on fire. The plant itself wasn't affected but it was feared that the fire could spread if it wasn't quickly contained.

Ukrainian emergency services said initially they were blocked from getting to the scene.

But at 05:20 local time, firefighters were finally able to start tackling the fire.

It was extinguished about an hour later, Ukraine's Emergency Services wrote.
