A large oil storage tank was on fire early on Wednesday in Russia's Bryansk region, a local governor said.
The tank was located in the Surazh district in the north of the region. Bryansk region borders with Ukraine's northeast.
"Fire and rescue teams are on the site," Governor Alexander Bogomaz said on the Telegram messaging app. The fire had spread across 1,800 square metres (19,000 square feet), Bogomaz said.
