It is noted that the explosion led to a partial destruction of the floor between the basement and the room on the first floor.

“Tonight it was reported that in the basement of a five-story building on Popovich Street there was an explosion of an oxygen cylinder without subsequent fire,” the department said. 

Ten residents were evacuated from the house. The injured was handed over to the doctors.

Earlier in Kirov, an air-gas mixture exploded in a residential building.
