A massive explosion rocked the Russian city of Izhevsk in the latest mysterious blast to hit a Russian city.
The location of the explosion is close to the Votkinsk Machine-Building plant – which produces oil, gas, machine tools, and military equipment, according to unconfirmed social media reports.
The moment the explosion occurred was caught in a dramatic video circulating on social media.
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry claimed the explosion was due to « technical work » at the Voktkinsk Machine Building Plant near Izhevsk.
The news comes as Kyiv is currently being bombarded with Russian drones and missiles.
