1st Answer:
No towns were destroyed. People were evacuated from the nearest town, Pripyat, but there was no physical damage, just radioactive fallout which is invisible.
2nd Answer:
Based on the articles with links below, we can guess 200 or more communities were rendered uninhabitable, including Prypiat, a city that had about 50,000 residents.
The Zone of Alienation is an area in the Ukraine where there was sufficient contamination that people had to be evacuated. According to the article with the link below, there are 90 communities in the Zone. The infrastructure in these communities, after 24 years without maintenance, is crumbling. There were 120,000 people who lived there, including the residents of Prypiat.
According to the article on the History of Belarus, there were an additional 135,000 people there who had to be permanently relocated. Since these people lived in communities similar in size to those of the 70,000 Ukrainian evacuees who had lived outside Prypiat, we might guess that there were well over 100 communities evacuated. In addition, about 2.2 million people in Belarus have to have their health monitored for effects of radiation poisoning.
