What's happening in Russia on August 31
According to opposition Russian media, the area of the fire in Balashikha, Russia, is 4,000 sq. m.
In addition, it is noted that Mi-8 and Ka-32 helicopters are participating in the extinguishing.
The premises belong to the Balashikha Experimental Chemical Plant, as well as the TDK company, which sells household chemicals.
Firefighters are still unable to extinguish the fire in a warehouse in Balashikha. According to eyewitnesses, the flames have spread to neighboring houses.
It is also indicated that the problems at Sochi airport began on the night of August 30, when the Krasnodar Territory and neighboring Adygea came under a powerful drone attack.
In the wake of recent events, the airport abruptly stopped accepting and departing flights, leaving thousands of people stranded there.
Schedule adjustments due to past restrictions have led to new delays on both domestic and international routes.
