Russia: Report a large fire at a gunpowder factory in Kotovsk<\/h3>\n

A fire has once again erupted at the gunpowder factory in Kotovsk, located in the Russian region of Tambov.<\/p>\n

This incident comes amid the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukrainian forces reportedly targeting various military, logistical, and infrastructural sites in both occupied territories and within Russia.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian government has not officially commented on the alleged attack at the Kotovsk gunpowder factory, marking a departure from their usual response to such incidents.<\/p>\n

Reports of Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory have seen a notable uptick since the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the Kotovsk facility has faced such an attack. In June of this year, a fire at the same factory resulted in the death of four individuals and left twelve others injured.<\/p>\n

At that time, the regional governor attributed the incident to human error, vehemently denying any indication of an intentional attack.<\/p>\n

The Kotovsk factory is a crucial industrial plant in Russia, responsible for producing ammunition for the Russian military, including gunpowder used in small arms cartridges. The facility’s strategic importance makes it a potential target in the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n

It comes as Ukrainian and Russian officials on Friday reported reaching an agreement to bring a Ukrainian teenager taken to Russia amid the war last year back to his home country, in accordance with his wishes.<\/p>\n

Bohdan Yermokhin, a 17-year-old whose parents passed away years ago, will be reunited with a cousin \u201cin a third country\u201d on his 18th birthday later this month, with a view to then return to Ukraine, Russian children’s rights ombudswoman Maria Lvova-Belova said in an online statement Friday.<\/p>\n
