Details: The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reports that a gas distribution unit is on fire near Alushta, and rescue workers and forest workers are working at the scene to prevent the fire from spreading.

The self-styled “head of the Alushta administration” warns that the city may experience a full or partial gas cut-off due to the fire on the pipeline.

At the same time, social media users report that a powerful explosion occurred between the villages of Malyi Maiak and Vynohradnyi in the Alushta district, and a fire broke out, presumably on a gas pipeline.

Later, it became known that the Malyi Maiak gas distribution unit was on fire.
