Authorities did not specify where exactly the fire started.
But the evacuation of the population began.
The first information about the fire was published on the Telegram channel of the regional administration at 15:31. Half an hour later, Governor Rudenya decided to partially evacuate the population from the area where special services and firefighters were working.
Meanwhile, air defense systems continue to repel “a massive drone attack in the skies over the city.”
On September 1, five UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were shot down in the Konakovo district of the Tver region. One of them fell in the area of a gas distribution station, the other – on the territory of a hydroelectric power station. A fire also broke out at the stations. No one was injured.
