Recall that over the past 2, several major fires occurred in military depots on the territory of Ukraine. So, in March, 2017, in Balakliya, Kharkiv region, destroyed about 70% of ammunition as a result of a fire. On May 3 of this year, the repository caught fire again - around 40 shells exploded.
In September last year, a fire occurred also at an ammunition depot in Kalinovka, Vinnitsa region. Fire destroyed up to a third of ammunition.
The causes of fires were both staff negligence and the diversion of “enemy forces”.
