Fire at Russian Industrial Plant Extinguished After Ukrainian Drone Attack
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian firefighters have put out the flames at an "industrial plant" in the Volga region, a local official said on Monday, five days after Ukraine said it had struck an oil depot there supplying an air base for Russian nuclear bomber planes.
Regional governor Roman Busargin said the "open burning" at the site, which he did not identify, had been extinguished overnight, but emergency workers remained in place around the clock.
"The work continues," he said, without specifying what further actions were needed.
The Jan. 8 Ukrainian drone attack on the city of Engels ignited a huge blaze in which two firefighters died, and prompted Busargin to declare a state of emergency.
