112.ua: Extreme fire hazard observed in Ukraine on May 28

Cars pass as munitions explode at a military depot on Sept. 27, 2017 near Kalynivka. Ukranian authorities evacuated nearly 30,000 people September 27 from the central Vinnytsya region after a huge munitions depot caught fire and set off artillery shells and blasts prosecutors were treating as an act of "sabotage". It was the second major incident affecting a Ukrainian weapons storage site this year. Kiev blamed the first one in March on Moscow and its Russian-backed insurgents fighting Ukrainian forces in the war-wrecked east -- a charge both sides denied. / AFP PHOTO / Sergei SUPINSKY

Ukrainians should be aware of the extreme fire hazard on May 28.
