In Nizhny Tagil, the entrance of a residential building collapsed due to a gas explosion, which resulted in casualties and the threat of structural collapse, writes Online.ua.

The rescue operation is complicated by the fact that the exact number of people under the rubble and possible other victims are unknown. Currently, it is known that 3 adults and 1 child were found from under the rubble.

The collapse of a five-story building in Nizhny Tagil may be related to criminal acts committed by two persons in the form of a gas service. Experts do not rule out the possibility that such events could be a provocation by Russia or propaganda actions to justify further strikes on residential buildings.
