“At 7:18 p.m. the liquidation of open burning was announced,” the department said in a statement.
Recall that the fire began after an explosion and a shooting against visitors to the Crocus City Hall concert hall on Friday night. The flames consumed about 13 thousand square meters and the roof collapsed.
Helicopters from the Ministry of Emergency Situations were used to extinguish the fire.
The fire was contained after midnight.
Debris clearing continues now.
