A Russian drone has struck the vast protective shell covering the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukraine said on Friday.

Evolution seems to have sped up near Chernobyl, where a small type of tree frog has changed substantially since the 1986 nuclear meltdown.

Researchers observing wild dogs near Ukraine's Chernobyl disaster site hope to extrapolate survival possibilities for humans under similar conditions from the dogs' behavior.

The area around the defunct power plant has been an unexpected rewilding success story. Now attempts to monitor progress are hampered by the war.

Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations.

Chernobyl's dogs stuck around after the nuclear disaster. Scientists are examining their genetics for long-term effects of radiation exposure.

Dogs found in the Chernobyl area are evolving faster than they normally would, a new genetics study suggests.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday warned Russia was using nuclear power plants to "blackmail" the world, speaking on the anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. "Thirty-seven ...
