In the Kursk region, an explosion occurred in a canoe where soldiers called up for military service were stationed. Initially, six people were killed.
The soldiers melted the stove and accidentally splashed a flammable liquid into the fire, reports the Baza Telegram channel. As a result, an explosion thundered through the building and a fire broke out. Only two soldiers managed to escape from the shelter enveloped in flames.
Rescuers must establish the exact number of dead. After the fire is out, water is still pumped out of the canoe.

Earlier, there were reports of a major fire in the mobilized camp in Omsk. The stove was the source of the fire. As a result, one tent was completely burned and two others were damaged.
