Is there a good reason they coded that as “drone crash started a fire” and not just “drone attack started a fire”?

Nuclear Fire Tornado with Radioactive Rain was not on my Bingo Card for 2026 (that only said Nuke itself)

That’s not what we meant by celebrating Chernobyl’s 40th anniversary. We did not need fireworks near nuclear facilities people. What’s next? A pool party at Fukushima?

Oh cool. So we have new virus going around, insane amount of ticks that can end you, possible ww3, and now this? Oh goodie.
Update: Apperently aliens are real too now as per released files. Oh good.

>The Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve (CREBR) wrote in a Telegram post that around 12 square kilometres of land, located to the south-east of the Ukrainian town of Chernobyl and the nuclear plant’s former cooling ponds, are burning due to a drone crash – but didn’t give details on the type or origin of the device. As of Friday afternoon, some 331 people and 75 pieces of equipment are involved in the emergency response.
>“It’s really big. Guys who are working on [the] fire line are breathing air with high concentration of radionuclides,” says Denys Vyshnevskiy at the CREBR. “After the shift, they check concentration radionuclides in the body.”
South-east of the town of Chernobyl is near the river, that should make it easier to get the fire under control.
Has anyone seen a source with more details about the amount of radiation being released?

Current weather maps indicate that winds are blowing towards Northeast. Resident of Homel should hold their breath.

Bit of a clickbait title. The exclusion zone is fairly large, about 1,000 square miles. Forest fires happen quite regularly and are dealt with by firefighters. It’s not the unprecedented apocalyptic scenario some make it out to be.

Right now, it’s also raining in the area around Chernobyl: https://www.accuweather.com/en/ua/kyiv/324505/weather-radar/324505
it must suck to be in the facility right now. or to be someone trying to stop the fire
Luckily nuclear smoke stops at borders
Great. Thanks Russia. Responsible for more deaths to come.
Not a good day for a roadside picnic.
I’ve played this game. It’s not fun.
Eyes up stalkers

Okay, who was the joker who put STALKER on their 2026 bingo card?
The one way to reduce radiation that they didn’t want you to know about
I thought we had a cease-fire in effect…
Can I please read some good news?
