		</div><p>Ukrainian firefighters worked overnight trying to put out two forest blazes in the area around the Chernobyl nuclear power station.</p>
<p>The area was evacuated because of radioactive contamination after the 1986 explosion at the plant.</p>
<p>Ukraine’s emergencies service said one of the fires, covering about five hectares, had been localised.</p>
<p>It said the other fire was about 20 hectares.</p>
<p>The head of the state ecological inspection service, Yehor Firsov, earlier said the fires had spread to about 100 hectares.</p>
<p>Mr Firsov said radiation levels at the fire were substantially higher than normal.</p>
<p>But the emergencies service said radiation levels in the capital of Kyiv, about 60 miles south, were within norms.</p>
<p>The fires were within the 1,000-square-mile Chernobyl exclusion zone established after the 1986 disaster at the plant that sent a cloud of radioactive fallout over much of Europe.</p>
<p>The zone is largely unpopulated, although about 200 people have remained despite orders to leave.</p>
