Footage has emerged from the scene of a gas explosion in an 18-storey building in Stavropol.

A gas explosion occurred on May 21 in an 18-storey apartment building on Tukhachevsky Street in Stavropol. Izvestia publishes footage from the scene.

The video shows that the apartments on the last level of the building were most affected — the end walls were destroyed, the window frames were blown out by the blast wave. Fragments of the walls scattered across the territory adjacent to the house and damaged cars parked nearby.

Let's agree, we'll live: in Makhachkala, gas exploded in an illegally built house

The building was never put into operation, but people moved into it by court order.

A gas explosion occurred in an apartment building in Stavropol on the same day. According to the Izvestia source, it happened on the 18th floor. The number of victims of a gas explosion in a residential building in Stavropol has increased to three people.

Later, the governor of the region, Vladimir Vladimirov, spoke about the elimination of the fire. He noted that specialists would subsequently inspect the building in order to plan restoration work.
