Three people killed and four injured in the explosion in Khimki

At the scene there are eight teams of the territorial center of disaster medicine and 13 teams of ambulance. In addition, medical aviation is involved in providing assistance. It is possible that people may remain under the rubble.

According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the explosion in the apartment could have occurred due to a gas leak. Perhaps they forgot to turn off the gas after cooking. On the fact of the state of emergency, a criminal case was initiated on the provision of services that did not meet safety requirements, which inadvertently resulted in the death of two or more people.

The explosion resulted in a fire that engulfed five apartments. In addition, inter-apartment partitions collapsed.
