The tragedy occurred on the morning of February 9 on Linear Street. Household gas exploded in a five-story house, which caused two entrances to collapse. Three dozen apartments were destroyed.
14 people managed to be rescued from the wreckage. The head of the Novosibirsk region, Andrey Travnikov, declared February 10 a day of mourning for the victims of the emergency. Law enforcement officers opened a criminal case under the article on the provision of unsafe services and detained two residents of the Omsk region who were engaged in servicing gas stoves.
