Chernobyl Suicide Squad

The city of Chernobyl, located approximately 90 kilometers northeast of Kiev, Ukraine, was home to around 14,000 people prior to the nuclear disaster that occurred on April 25, 1986. This city, along with the neighboring town of Pripyat, was primarily inhabited by workers and families associated with the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. However, following the disaster, the area became synonymous with one of the worst nuclear accidents in history, leading to the evacuation and abandonment of both Chernobyl and Pripyat, and the establishment of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
