In Omsk, a serious incident occurred at one of the gas stations: an explosion led to a fire in a tank with petroleum products. The event was recorded and posted on social media, where a tall column of black smoke could be seen billowing into the sky. This plume of smoke became visible from many parts of the city, causing concern among residents. However, according to Baza journalists, we are not talking about a gas station, but about an oil depot in the city, which may indicate serious consequences of what happened.

Fire in Omsk

Eyewitnesses said they heard a series of loud explosions, after which a fire started. Emergency services, including fire brigades and special services, immediately arrived at the scene of the emergency and began localizing the fire. However, as experts note, extinguishing may take longer due to the combustion characteristics of petroleum products, which are known for their ability to spread fire.

So far, the exact causes of the incident have not been established, but information about the explosions raises serious concerns, especially against the backdrop of repeated attempts to attack fuel and energy facilities in Russia.
