A powerful explosion occurred at the Votkinsk plant located near Izhevsk in Russia. Following the explosion, a severe fire broke out, according to the Telegram channel Baza.
The propagandist channel claimed that the explosion was supposedly related to rocket engine tests and occurred "at the test site."
Meanwhile, representatives of the Votkinsk plant informed the local Emergencies Ministry about "some tests."
At the same time, local residents are posting videos showing a huge fire after the explosion.
The Votkinsk plant is a Russian manufacturer of firearms and military equipment. The plant also produces Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles Topol-M, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and Iskander-M missiles used to shell Ukraine.
