At least 19 people were injured this Saturday in a fire that caused several explosions in a TNT production workshop at the Kristall factory, Russian region of Nizhni Novgorod.

 

Moscow.- The facility is located in the western part of the town of Derzhinsky. It was initially announced that after the incident was recorded, the factory personnel were quickly evacuated.

However, it appears that detonations occurred before the evacuation of workers from the workshop, where the flames covered an area of 100 square meters, said the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The governor of Nizniy Novgorod, Gleb Nikitin, ordered the creation of a general staff to deal with the consequences of the disaster, led by his deputy Dmitry Krasnov.

The technological process was apparently violated and a fire broke out. For now, the danger of new explosions remains, according to sources at the ministry. (PL)
