This was reported by the Russian edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda, posting a video with a flaming forest on its Facebook page.
The fire started in the Kamenskoye forestry. 50 units of fire equipment are working on its liquidation, including two rescue helicopters and a fire train. Also, the fire approached the Dichensky farm. The fire area is located just over 40 km from the border with Ukraine from the Luhansk region.
“Smoke began to spread to the nearby M-4 Don highway and threaten traffic safety,” the Russian edition added.
