Explosions in the Zhytomyr region occurred on the territory of two production facilities, which were completely destroyed. As a result of the explosion, many residential buildings were destroyed, and many people were injured. This was stated by the head of the Hlybochytsia community, Serhiy Sokalskyi, on the air of Kyiv24, as reported by UNN.
For several hours, an investigative team and many agencies have been working on the scene, clarifying the circumstances. The causes of the explosion are not yet clear. The only thing I can say is that the incident occurred on the territory of two production facilities, which were completely destroyed. Unfortunately, many residential buildings were destroyed, and a large number of people were injured.
He noted that he heard two explosions around 6:00 PM.
An investigative and operational group is working, they will determine the categories of consequences, the causes of the consequences, what happened and how. It is absolutely unclear. Everything was normal here, if there were no objects, what it is connected with. I don't know. Many ambulances evacuated people to healthcare facilities. I can't say where, because there is a very large flow on the highway, traffic jams, the road is blocked. All those people who were injured, they received first aid, and those who were most affected were evacuated by ambulances.
