"If you read our media, we're destroying the enemy everywhere." In Proletarsk, Rostov, an oil depot has been burning for the third day after being attacked by a drone.
The area that began after the drone attack on August 18 fire at the moment is 10 thousand square meters. The head of the Proletarsky District administration stated this Valery Gornich. The acrid smoke from the fire spread more than 100 kilometers.
The firefighting force has been increased to over 500 people. Governor Vasily Golubev said yesterday сообщил, that 41 firefighters were injured while extinguishing the diesel fuel storage facility - 18 of them were hospitalized, five - in intensive care.
Emergency Ministry rescuer Vladislav Goncharov opened the collection Funds for colleagues injured at the Proletarskaya oil depot. They managed to raise over two hundred thousand rubles. However, the fundraiser soon had to be closed, as the rescuer began receiving calls "from seemingly the presidential office asking what was going on": "My career is probably over here. After the firefighting is over and I return to my unit, there will be a debriefing. I'm not going to sit back and remain silent. <…> Guys, thank you all so much. I knew we had kind and helpful people. I'm glad I could be of service to you."
According to Rostov media, firefighters stopped the fire from spreading further last night. Another problem—the smoky and burning smell, making it difficult to breathe—has also persisted. People are forced to stay indoors, close their windows, and wear masks to protect themselves from the harmful fumes.
"Satellite images captured a powerful dark cloud of smoke that spread nearly 100 kilometers from the scene, indicating the scale of the disaster," сообщают MASS MEDIA.
Local residents are perplexed in the comments: "If you read our media, we're destroying the enemy everywhere," "And where are we winning this war?" "But there are improvements near Kursk, as the propaganda reports." And they confidently add: "Oh! Gas prices are going up again."
