A massive explosion at a gas station in Russia’s southern republic of Dagestan killed 30 people and injured scores more, Russian officials said Tuesday.
Russia’s Emergency Ministry reported Tuesday that a total of 105 people were injured, and 30 of them died.
The authorities have begun a criminal investigation.
Also on Monday night, a blast in western Siberia killed two people and wounded five others. The explosion occurred at an oil mine in the Khanty-Mansiysk region late in the evening, authorities said.
The explosion in Dagestan was the deadliest in Russia since April 2022, when a fire at a defense research facility in Tver, a city 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Moscow, killed 22 people and injured a dozen more.
A blast at a factory north of Moscow that makes optical equipment for Russia’s security forces killed one person and injured 84 more earlier this month.
Lots of things exploding in Russia recently, the Kremlin should stop it’s barbaric genocide and terrorism so they can live in peace.
That many people at a gas station?
If it was a massive explosion, it probably killed people near the gas station too. In houses, apartments, etc.
It did a very good job
