According to media reports, a serious explosion occurred on Wednesday evening at the test site of a Russian weapons factory, 1,000 kilometers east of Moscow.
According to reports, the explosion took place on a site belonging to the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant in the Udmurt Republic.
Russian nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles are built in the factory. There are many Russian arms factories in Udmurtia with its capital Izhevsk.
The explosion and the column of fire seen on social networks are not the result of an accident, but of the planned test of a rocket engine. The Russian state news agency Tass reported this, citing civil protection.
There were initially no indications that Ukraine was responsible for the explosion. The direct distance to Ukraine is over 1,400 kilometers.
