The head of the UN's atomic agency says radiation levels at the former Chernobyl nuclear power station, the scene of weeks of fighting after the Russian invasion, are "abnormal", APA reports citing BBC.

International Atomic Energy Agency director-general Rafael Grossi told reporters Russia's weeks-long occupation of the site was "very, very dangerous", according to AFP.

The disused power station was the site of history's worst nuclear disaster in 1986 and is still used to contain nuclear waste
