“The asphalt is melting within a radius of 40 meters, the column of flames is about 70 meters away,” the media write.
The Kharkov Telegram channels also add that firefighters are already on the scene and trying to stop the flames.
However, nothing has been reported about the causes of the pipeline explosion. In addition, so far there is no reaction from the official authorities of the Kharkov region to what happened.
