Authorities have declared a state of emergency in the region. Due to the ignition of the aviation ammunition depot, a decision was made to evacuate nearby towns.
According to regional governor Igor Artamonov, approximately 420 households have been included in the evacuation zone, and dozens of buses have been brought in to evacuate residents.
Nine people were injured. The region also lacks electricity, probably due to an attack on one of the power substations.
