Russia: Belgorod - ammunition stored near border with Ukraine catches fire, governor blames heat
Reuters ^ | 23 August 2022

Posted on 08/23/2022 10:30:49 PM PDT by Cronos

Ammunition being stored in southern Russia near the border with Ukraine caught fire on Tuesday, the second such incident in a week, and a local official said high temperatures were to blame.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Belgorod region, said people near the village of Timonovo were evacuated after the ammunition started to spontaneously combust. No one was injured, he said in a statement.

Last week inhabitants of Timonovo and Soloti, 15 km (9 miles) from Ukraine, were evacuated after a nearby ammunition storage depot caught fire. It was not clear from Gladkov's comments whether Tuesday's blaze had taken place in the same depot or among ammunition that had been moved.

.."In a few months we will find out whether Russian ammunition can explode because of the cold," Ukraine's defence ministry said in a tweet on Tuesday.

"The five main causes of sudden explosions in Russia are: winter, spring, summer, autumn and smoking."

Military officials claim the fire was started by a “lensing effect” caused by bright sunshine.

"Due to hot weather, a lens effect occurred near the village of Tymonove; ammunition which hadn’t been neutralized by sappers caught fire," said Viacheslav Gladkov, governor of Belgorod Oblast.

Putin’s flagship samk due to carelessness or high waves. Then ammunition dumps blow up due to the sun. And airports are destroyed by careless smokers.

Seems like a sign to the Nazi dictator Putin that 22 years of mismanagement of Russia is enough.

Zelensky is a puppet of Soros, Schwab & the globalist Sodomarchy. He is responsible for the death and destruction of his own state. But he did get that nice spread in Vanity Fair for being a trendy globalist and having a pecker who can play pee-anna on teevee. What a guy.

Putin started the war.

Only Putin can end it by withdrawing his troops.

Zelensky has no ability to end the war since Putin invaded Ukraine.

Or perhaps you think Belgium was to blame for Nazi Germany’s invasion?

Nope, Putin is a pal of Soros according to your posts. Putin started the war and the chaos.

Putin is the one who keeps this war going.

This actually makes sense.

Clear Vodka bottles make great fire starting lenses. Even a amber beer bottles have started fires in the USA by focusing the rays from the sun on wood or leaves.

Vodka bottles left carelessly on wooden ammo crates, a good chance of a fire, then explosion.
