Russia struck Mykolaiv’s mass residential areas early this morning. The civilian settlements were seen in ruins in images shared on social media. Extinguishing works were carried out by Ukrainian troops in flaming structures.
A powerful explosion at the Shandong Youdao Chemical Company in Gaomi, Shandong Province, killed 5 people and injured 19. Security footage showed a tank exploding and a worker fleeing the scene as flames and thick smoke engulfed the area.
A total of 232 emergency personnel were deployed to the site. The blast was so intense that it shattered windows of a warehouse 3 kilometers away. The factory produces pesticides and medical chemicals. Chinese state media confirmed the casualties.
