The fire started on Sunday after a Ukrainian drone attack on these facilities. Local authorities said all the drones were shot down, but that the falling pieces of one of the UAVs „set a farm building on fire“.
Background:
The Russian authorities acknowledged that a fire had broken out in Russia’s Voronezh Oblast at a warehouse containing explosives following a UAV attack.
On Saturday, Alexander Gusev, the governor of Voronezh Oblast, announced a state of emergency in the strike area and that about 50 residents of nearby settlements would be evacuated.
The storage point in Sergeyevka contained surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles, shells for tanks and artillery, and boxes of small arms ammunition.
