A duty representative of the Emergency Control Ministry Alyaksandr Ramanenka has informed ERB about it.

The fire was extinguished quickly and nobody was injured”.

Although there were no victims, the incident impressed witnesses a lot. Some people claimed they saw the car blow up. But Alyaksandr Ramanenka refuses the rumours.
