Three people have been killed and two injured in a fire at a machine-building plant in the southern Russian city of Voronezh, Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said Monday.
Eyewitness footage shared by local social media channels showed thick black smoke coming out of a two-story industrial building and spreading to nearby streets.
The fire engulfed around 500 square meters of the machine-building plant Enikmash, which manufactures press forges, said the state-run broadcaster Vesti Voronezh.
Firefighters localized the blaze around 1.5 hours after being tipped off about the emergency.
The cause of the fire has not been disclosed.
