Wildfires Still Raging on Chernobyl’s 34th Anniversary

More than a thousand firefighters were working in the radiation-contaminated Chernobyl exclusion zone on Sunday, the 34th anniversary of the nuclear disaster, amid a weeks-long effort to extinguish brush fires in the area.

Authorities have attributed the fires in the predominantly uninhabited Chernobyl zone and in other parts of Ukraine in recent weeks to strong winds and abnormally dry conditions after a winter that lacked significant snow cover.
