History: > "The two explosions at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant came decades apart in the dead of night. The first, at 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, spread a cloud of deadly radiation that raised fears across Europe and shook the very foundations of the Soviet Union. Some say it led to its eventual collapse." Now >Moscow denied targeting the plant, alleging Kyiv staged the attack.
