Canonade near Achinsky
The artillery warehouses of the Ministry of Defense broke out when the department reported on a fracture in the fight against forest fires
On August 5, at about 17 hours on the territory of military unit 74008 near the village of Kamenka of the Achinsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a fire broke out in a warehouse of powder charges to artillery shells. These are the arsenals of the Center for MTO (material and technical support) of the Central Military District. Here, according to TASS, over 40 thousand shells. At this hour, in the Achinsky inter -district hospital No. 1, seven victims are reported: two military personnel are hospitalized, five civilians, including a child, outpatients.
There is a sequel
& Nbsp
Fire in Russia walks in a circle. While the Ministry of Defense tried to extinguish the taiga and reported on fantastic successes, artillery warehouses flashed and soared into the air
The explosions, according to eyewitnesses who are in touch with the "new", were heard at one time with a frequency of a few seconds. Thick black smoke was observed both in Achinsk and in another neighboring city - Nazarovo. Three hours later, at eight in the evening, one of the inhabitants of Achinsk told the “new” that the explosions are still heard.
It is reported that the personnel of the military unit is covered in the bomb shelter, the territory is numb. Two firefighters from Achinsk and Uzhur stations arrived to extinguish. The movement along this branch of the Trans -Siberian Railway, departing south of Achinsk (to Abakan), is stopped. In addition, traffic on the Achinsk -Uzhur highway is blocked.
An evacuation has been announced within a radius of 20 km from the place of emergency. But so far it was affected by a little more than a thousand people from three villages and a children's camp. Drawn on buses. Temporary placement points are deployed in Yastrebov and Mountain. At the same time, Achinsk (105 thousand people) is located 13 km from Kamenka along the highway (and 11 km in a straight line), but from here people run and leave themselves - on the exit of the city of traffic jams, gasoline ended at the gas stations.
From the stove, where glasses were erased in the houses, many also left, without waiting for the help of the authorities, some left the village on foot.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Defense Dmitry Bulgakov with a group of specialists was sent to the place of explosions.
Let me remind you that in the Krasnoyarsk Territory to combat fires in the taiga and forest -tundra, the large forces of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Emergencies are now collected. Including a large number of bosses with large and numerous stars in uniform. And a couple of hours before the emergency in the artillery warehouses of the Central Military District, the Krasnoyarsk governor Alexander of the USS announced a fracture in the fight against forest fires.
And even before the USS, the Ministry of Defense reported on the reduction in the region by five times the rate of distribution of natural fires and that "over four days of operation of the Ministry of Defense in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Irkutsk region, forest fires on an area of 753 thousand hectares managed." This non-referral-fantastic indicator can be compared with the data published by the FBU Avialeshokhran, which in this case is more confidence in a priori-then a professional structure in this area. For them, for the same four days, all forces involved in extinguishing forest fires in Russia (including the Ministry of Defense), using 87 aircraft, managed to put out forest fires with a total area of 20.7 thousand hectares.
But the Ministry of Defense of one of its aviation ascribes the square, almost 40 times large (although they are extinguished not area - the edge). And he does not mention at all these days the past rains. And now, the central areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are pouring abundantly, hits hail (in some places until new almost catastrophic consequences-many perceived explosions on army arsenals as the peals of thunder).
This is not an absurd theater, this is our reality: while the Ministry of Defense is trying to extinguish the absolutely deserted taiga and forest -tundra, that is, to fulfill the order of obviously unreasonable and meaningless, it flashes right in its economy. With serious consequences.
