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."

The first ammo dump which "caught fire" was in the woods.
This is just another example of the dangers of climate change.
Helping the Ukrainians defeat the Russians and destroy their military capabilities reduces the chance of any wider conflict.
At the rate Putin's war is going Russia will have destroyed its conventional military in about six more months. They are already dragging out old, stored armor to send it to Ukraine to be recycled into scrap metal.
Your Russian thought process is why Putin and Russia are doomed to failure.
You think that Ukraine's supplies of tanks, planes, helicopters, artillery, and ammunition are fixed, like Russia's supply of armaments. But Ukraine is a part of the modern part of the world and they can obtain whatever supply of weapons and ammunition they need.
Right now they have more tanks than they started with, and are getting more state of the art weapons and ammunition daily.
Nope, just the latest talking points from Pravda and the FSB.
That is a very good point. Why have to spend money disarming and recycling the hazardous waste when we can just send the shells on their way towards some Russians.
The money spent replacing the shells with new, modern ammunition goes directly to Americans working in factories here in the USA. A much better use for tax dollars than handing out phones to illegal aliens.
The only folks doomed to failure is ZelenskyyIdiot and Ukraine, BidenIdiot and the US, the UK, the EU, and Germany......
Those woods are known for catching things on fire, they’re so upset about climate change.
climate change strikes again!
Oo! Name calling. I’m so upset./s
At night?
Sure, a fire can smolder for a long time before it really takes off.
Putin’s army has lost territory since March 22nd-——————————————————
that’s only true because russia withdrew from Kiev,Sumy,Chernihiv abd Karkov areas.
You cherry picked the time period.Russia has captured a lot of territory in the Donbass since then.
yahoo/Rooters propaganda is always good for a laugh!
happy indepissdance day to you too.
Your troll team is working overtime today.
Do you get paid time and a half for holidays?
There were a lot of people we thought were on our side that turned out not to be. Especially the folks that decided that they benefit from perpetual wars, both politically and financially.
I recognize them for the evil that they are. Malthusian is a better description than simple globalist, but most folks don’t know what it means (but they should).
Not at all. It’s a key point. No warmonger on FR is willing to fight themselves. Not. A. One. Very telling.
So you deny their existence and you deny what Zelensky did ?
Nope, it’s you gays, er, guys. Zelensky and crew.
They rather agitate others here to go fight and die while they stay here. Count their blood money and play with their secretary’s ass. Why should they go over there? One can get hurt over there.
I just tell the truth, you bots just squawk.
Lots of Rus ammo going up in smoke these days. KABOOMSKI!
