As a result of a night attack on November 4 on the russian city of Sterlitamak, an explosion occurred in a workshop of the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant, causing a fire and partial collapse. It was reported by the Telegram channel Astra.

"Preliminarily, this video shows a center of fire either on railroad tanks on the tracks or a tank a little to the north. At the same time, according to local residents, there are several centers of fire at the plant," the channel notes.

Local residents recorded at least two powerful explosions: they occurred at 6:22 a.m. and 7:09 a.m. local time.
