Fires in Russia – what is known

On the territory of the Russian Federation, fires and explosions have been happening more and more often in the last year. Thus, on February 25,  defenders of Ukraine struck the positions of the Russians four times , as a result of which the radar station of the occupiers was hit.

On February 28, new explosions rang out in Yeysk, Krasnodar Territory, Russia  . 

In turn, the Secretary of the National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov said that he knows nothing about the causes of incidents in Russian regions, because this is the territory of the Russians.
