An entire street of houses is on fire; at least 6 houses have already burned down.

A fire at an oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov Oblast, which began after a drone attack 6 days ago, has spread beyond the depot, according to a report from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. According to the agency, the fire first spread to dry vegetation and later to residential buildings.

The Shot Telegram channel, citing local residents, writes that “the entire Chapaeva Street with residential buildings is burning,” at least 6 houses have already burned down. At the same time, some city residents do not agree with the version of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and claim that the emergency could have occurred as a result of deliberate arson.

40 rescuers and 12 pieces of equipment are taking part in extinguishing the fire, the Ministry of Emergency Situations reports.
