As a result of the explosion, the gas storage tank caught fire.
Emergency services are on site.
Furthermore, Gladkov alleged that the Ukrainian armed forces had launched a drone attack on a bus in the village of Voznesenovka, Shebekino District, carrying employees of a private company to their workplace.
Gladkov said that at the time of the attack, two passengers and a driver were on the bus.
Due to the explosion, one individual sustained injuries – he suffered from barotrauma and a bruise on his right hand. He went to the hospital for treatment.
For reference:
On the morning of April 12, the city of Belgorod in Russia received news of a UAV attack on the Gazprom building. Local authorities have confirmed that two people were injured.
It is noted that the drone crashed into the Gazprom building on 5th Zavodsky Lane. The drone allegedly targeted a resource supply company. The facade was also damaged.
On the night of May 2 in Russia, some regions announced the work of air defense and explosions due to drone attacks.
Energy infrastructure facilities were damaged in the Oryol region, and an entire settlement was left without power in the Kursk region.
On the night of May 2, there were also reports of explosions near the village of Afipsky in the Krasnodar Territory, where an oil refinery is situated.
Explosions and fires consistently happen throughout the Russian Federation, and many Russians attribute these incidents to drone attacks. These occurrences are recorded across different regions of the aggressor country. It's worth mentioning that despite the Ministry of Defense's claims of successfully intercepting drones with air defense systems, frequent videos showing the opposite—drones successfully targeting various objects—circulate online.
