Balloon explosions in Ukraine

Since the beginning of November, three tourist gas cylinders have exploded in Kyiv: there were no fatalities or injuries.

Fires have become more frequent in Mariupol due to non-compliance with safety rules when using gas cylinders. The city has turned into a potential explosive, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia does not react in any way.
