Russian tank repairmen in the Belgorod region have reportedly blown up a T-72 tank they were repairing, causing damage to two other tanks.

On Thursday evening, a fire broke out at a tank repair base in Belgorod, located near Russia’s border with Ukraine, according to Baza, a Russian Telegram channel that regularly posts information about security issues within the country.

The fire, which reportedly started due to a violation of fire safety during repairs, caused ammunition to detonate, destroying one tank and damaging two others nearby.

Firefighters arrived at the scene two hours after the fire, and it was extinguished in half an hour. There were no reported casualties, said Baza.
