[Regnum] The fire that broke out earlier after an explosion at the Shahid Rajaee port in the Bandar Abbas region of Iran has been brought under control. This was reported on April 29 by the Russian Embassy in Tehran following the participation of Russian Emergencies Ministry employees in efforts to extinguish the fire. "The flames have been brought under control, the state of emergency has been downgraded from national to regional. We can say that things are nearing the finish line. Let's hope that this is how it will be, without any unpleasant surprises," the official Telegram channel of the Russian diplomatic mission says. It is noted that the Russian rescuers, whose work is admired, have not slept for three days since their departure from Russia. According to diplomats, the Emergencies Ministry employees are inspired in their work by the memory of their great ancestors, who won the Great Patriotic War 80 years ago. The Embassy also expressed gratitude to the professionals from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, who once again proved that Russia always helps its friends in difficult times.
A massive explosion rocked the Shahid Rajaee port near the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Saturday after a fuel tanker detonated, leaving 70 dead and over 1,000 injured, according to an updated toll from Iran’s state IRNA news agency. Emergency teams worked to battle the blaze for days following the earth-shattering kaboom and managed to fully extinguish the flames on Monday, IRNA said, citing officials in the Hormozgan province. An investigative committee formed to determine the circumstances behind the blast concluded that the reason was a "failure to observe safety and passive defense standards," warning of discrepancies and saying that security and defense authorities are "seriously seeking to identify the wrongdoers." | |
