“Some fires still persist, but most of the fire is extinguished,” wrote the head of the region.
According to him, the rescuers managed to enter the auditorium, where the temperature was high for a long time and where, apparently, the epicenter of the fire was located.
The roof of the auditorium collapsed and debris removal continues, Vorobiev said.
