Fire at the Shahid drone production plant in Tatarstan: details of a massive emergency.

According to ТСН: On Friday evening, a major fire occurred in the special economic zone "Alabuga" in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, where "Shahid" drones are produced.

According to local Telegram channels and propaganda media, the fire broke out in a battery storage warehouse, covering an area of 5 thousand square meters.

According to REN TV information, there was partial roof collapse in the warehouse. More than 300 people were evacuated from the building.

Local rescuers are trying to extinguish the fire, and a helicopter has been involved in firefighting efforts.

Expansion of the plant

Earlier, it was reported that Russia continues to expand the drone production plant in "Alabuga" – a special economic zone in the Yelabuga district of Tatarstan.

Satellite images show that many new buildings have been constructed on the site, including new dormitories and production facilities.

Other events

It is noteworthy that on the same day, November 28, explosions and fires occurred on two tankers in the Black Sea near the Turkish coast, which were under international sanctions for transporting Russian oil.

This incident in Tatarstan is happening against the backdrop of a broader campaign by Russia to increase drone production, highlighting the region's importance for the country's defense capabilities. The fire in "Alabuga" may affect the plant's production capacity, raising concerns about further developments.
