Operators of the Zaporozyhe Nuclear Power plant in Ukraine are reporting six to eight explosions very near the plant as of 6:00 AM eastern US Time Friday, August 19, 2022.
Russia again says Ukraine is shelling the plant and a nuclear disaster could be created by that shelling. Russian air defenses are being used against the incoming attacks, as shown in the video below:

The graphic below shows how radiation would travel today and into the weekend if a shell causes a radiation leak:
