In Russia, at the plant in Sergiev Posad, today, August 9, there was a powerful explosion. At first, Russian media claimed that the explosion was caused by a drone attack, but then local authorities said that the explosion was the result of a "violation of the technological process" and "human error".

Video of the moment of the arrival began to be posted in Russian Telegram channels. It is known that the explosion in Sergiev Posad occurred at the Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant.

This plant is engaged in the creation of optical and optoelectronic devices intended for implementation in the power structures of the Russian Federation, industry and health care systems.

At the same time, Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov said that the plant, where the explosion occurred, allegedly had nothing to do with optics and that pyrotechnics had been produced there for a long time.

The explosion itself and the first seconds after were caught on camera near the epicenter.

It is known that at least 52 people were injured as a result of the explosion. Glass was blown out in the surrounding houses, and some apartments even had interior partitions torn down. According to eyewitness reports, the ceilings crumbled in offices nearby. A nearby kindergarten was also evacuated.

What was the force of the explosion at the factory, it becomes clear from this footage. It seems as if the ground shook under the houses.

Earlier it was reported that the Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant in Sergiev Posad, Russia, where the explosion occurred on August 9, manufactures observation equipment, medical equipment, laboratory instruments, and, more recently, also dosimetry and security equipment. As a result of the accident, a terrible column of smoke rose there.

Also on August 9, explosions were heard again near Moscow, the capital of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation. Local authorities announced a new attack by unknown drones. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported the work of air defense systems near Domodedovo and Minsk highway. Both UAVs were allegedly shot down.
