Local authorities: the situation at the ammunition depot in Crimea has returned to normal
According to the head of the administration of the Dzhankoy district of the Republic of Crimea, Inna Fedorenko, the explosions that took place at one of the ammunition depots located in this area have ceased.
As a result of a sabotage in the ammunition depot of one of the military units near the village of Maiskoye in the Dzhankoy district, shell explosions began in the early morning of August 16.
The munitions explosions caused extensive damage to nearby private houses, some of which burned down. In addition, power lines, a power plant, and a section of the railway were seriously damaged. Two civilians were also reported to have been injured in the explosions.
According to Fedorenko, at the moment the situation in the Dzhankoy area is calm. She added that a meeting of the headquarters to eliminate the consequences of this incident will be held in the near future and the damage caused to residential buildings and infrastructure will be assessed.
The Russian military department called the incident with the explosions of shells near Dzhankoy a diversion.
Recall that on August 9, several large explosions thundered on the territory of the military airfield of the Crimean city of Saki. Then 15 people were injured and more than 60 residential multi-storey buildings were damaged. The official cause of the incident in Saki was declared a violation of fire safety regulations.
The very fact of storing boxes with tons of ammunition in the open air, and even near the railway, where there is an active passenger and goods traffic, is, to put it mildly, surprising. Ammunition and military equipment were arranged in such a way as if this was not a territory that representatives of the Kyiv terrorist regime constantly talk about as a goal, but a deep, deep rear. In this regard, the question arises: when will responsible persons learn from such mistakes so that nothing like this is allowed in the future.
