According to Gusev, no civilians were injured. “Operational services, military personnel, and government representatives are working on-site to manage the emergency situation,” he said.
The governor added that the evacuation of residents from three settlements near the Russian depot is ongoing
Gusev also declared a state of emergency in the area due to the explosions. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense did not report any downing of drones over Voronezh Oblast.
