[Regnum] Nine people were killed as a result of explosions at a gas station in the suburbs of Makhachkala, the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.
Rescuers have pulled two more bodies from the rubble. It was previously reported that seven people, including two children, died in the emergency.
“A total of 19 people were injured, 9 of whom died,” the ministry’s press service said in a statement.
Those injured as a result of the explosions were taken to hospitals and are receiving all necessary assistance, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, reported earlier.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the explosions occurred on the evening of September 27 on a federal highway in the Karabudakhkent district in the suburbs of Makhachkala. A second explosion at the station was captured on video by eyewitnesses. The footage shows the detonation of underground gas station tanks, and a thick column of smoke was visible near the station itself. A large fire broke out after the explosions. The Ministry of Emergency Situations later reported that the fire had been localized.
According to media reports, the explosion occurred, preliminarily, because of a gas cylinder in a cafe, which was located on the territory of the station. The authorities of the republic will provide support to the victims, Melikov said.
A criminal case has been opened on the basis of the incident under Part 3 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (provision of services that do not meet the requirements for the safety of life or health of consumers, resulting in the death of two or more persons through negligence), the press service of the Investigative Committee for Dagestan reported. Investigative actions are being carried out to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
Residents of several nearby areas were left without power after explosions at gas stations, Dagenergo reported. Specialists have already begun restoration work and connected some consumers using backup circuits.
