The victims of the explosion in Dagestan were sent to Moscow

A special flight of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on the eve delivered 16 victims of an explosion in Makhachkala to the Ramenskoye airport near Moscow. Among them are three children.

The condition of all patients is satisfactory. Six victims are now on a ventilator. All are taken to hospitals in Moscow.

Recall that the tragedy occurred on the evening of August 14. An explosion occurred at the Nafta-24 gas station in the Kumtorkala district in the north of Makhachkala. As a result, 35 people died, more than 100 were injured.

The Prosecutor General's Office undertook to check the legality of the placement of all gas stations in Dagestan. According to investigators, the explosion was caused not only by the provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, but also by criminal negligence and possible corruption on the part of local officials who turned a blind eye to the storage of tons of explosive nitrate at a gas filling station and service station. At the same time, according to the mayor's office of Makhachkala, most of the local gas stations operate with violations.
