The area of the fire at the Yekaterinburg Uralmashplant increased to 4,000 square meters.
The roof of one of the workshops also collapsed there.
And another arson, the second of the day: the Elektroizolit plant in Khotkovo near Moscow, one of the largest enterprises in the country’s electrical industry, is on fire.
The plant was supposed to replace German manufacturers who left the Russian market in 2022, after the start of the war.
