Fire erupts near Ryazan power station in Russia following reported 'bang' — video
A fire broke out near the Ryazan GRES in Russia, reportedly preceded by a "bang," according to the Astra Telegram channel on Aug. 28.
Footage circulating online shows smoke near the Ryazan GRES power station, but local media suggests the images may be from a previous fire involving dry grass.
Authorities initially attributed the smoke to a technical issue, stating the station was operating normally.
The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations later denied reports of a fire, calling the news fake and claiming the photo was outdated.
The Ryazan GRES, located in Novomychurynsk, Ryazan Oblast, is one of Russia's most powerful thermal power plants with seven power units.
