An explosion occurred on the territory of the plant and a fire broke out. The fire area was about 1,500 square meters. According to Mash, the explosion was caused by a "technical malfunction of one of the installations."

"At 1:54 p.m. Moscow time, Rosaviatsia announced the suspension of Nizhnekamsk airport "to ensure flight safety" - such restrictions are imposed due to the danger of drone attacks. However, at 2:03 p.m., the restrictions were lifted," the article says.
