contents We consider static, spherically symmetric solutions of 5D general relativity with magnetic fields governed by nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) with the Lagrangian $L(\cal F)$, ${\cal F} = F_{AB} F^{AB}$, and show that generic solutions describe either 5D black holes (also called black strings due to a circular extra dimension) or so-called mirror stars with perfectly reflecting boundary surfaces (also called topological stars), not to be confused with 4D configurations of mirror matter considered in particle physics. Two particular examples of such solutions have been obtained, admitting analytic expressions for the metric coefficients and $L(\cal F)$, and their stability under radial (monopole) perturbations is studied. While the whole obtained family of black hole solutions turns out to be stable, mirror star solutions prove to be stable only in a certain range in the parameter space. We thus extend to the Einstein-NED system the results previously obtained for Einstein-Maxwell fields.
