Looking at the IAEA news feed:

15 March 2011, 05:15 UTC: …. informed the IAEA that there has been an explosion at the Unit 2 reactor.. .at around 06:20 on 15 March local Japan time. [ which is before 15 March 2011, 02:35 UTC] …the spent fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is on fire …. [leave it to the nuclear engineers to catch a pond on fire...]
