On June 3, an explosion occurred at the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ) in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia. A major fire broke out at the facility, and at least one person was injured.
According to SHOT, around 11:00 PM (Kyiv time), a powerful explosion was heard from the direction of the ZMZ, and "the blaze from the fire was visible."
In addition, on May 31, a large fire broke out at a factory producing galoshes and rubber footwear in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow. Columns of smoke were visible even in Moscow.
But the most intriguing part is that the fire occurred just 10 km from the residence of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
