Regional Gov. Andrey Travnikov confirms these deaths and says: “The nature of the injuries is varied — there are combined injuries, burns, and carbon monoxide poisoning,”
A criminal case has been opened on the incident, which preliminary data suggests was caused by a gas leak. The Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities of the region said that the gas system of the building was checked in September 2022.
