Local authorities in Kolomna confirmed that emergency services responded after reports of a blast in the area. The press office noted that there is currently no detailed information available about what happened or the scale of the incident.
Officials said that responders were deployed to the site as soon as the call came in. The person speaking for the agency added that the blast was not audible citywide, but was heard in the countryside beyond the Moscow River, suggesting a localized impact zone rather than a citywide event.
Earlier information circulated on the Telegram channel Baza, which suggested that the explosion occurred in a suburb of Kolomna near Moscow. According to that outlet, the noise could be detected from most parts of the city, and the incident was reported to have taken place around 21:30 Moscow time in a nearby settlement.
Meanwhile, reports emerged from the village of Kuzovatovo in the Ulyanovsk region about a separate blast at a gas station. Eyewitnesses described a gas truck catching fire while fueling, followed by a larger explosion. Five people sustained injuries, three of whom were hospitalized with burns. One eyewitness claimed that only the truck at the gas station ignited, while panic spread through the community in the immediate aftermath of the blast, causing concern among residents and authorities alike.
As investigations continue, officials emphasized the importance of verified information and cautioned against drawing conclusions before official statements are issued. Emergency teams remain on site to assess damage, determine the cause, and coordinate any necessary medical and safety responses. In both cases, authorities urged residents to avoid the affected areas and to follow official updates for accurate information. Marked notes from official sources indicate that ongoing inquiries will aim to establish timelines, identify victims, and determine whether any infrastructure or public safety factors contributed to the events. The situation remains fluid, with local leadership coordinating with regional authorities to ensure public safety and clear communication for affected communities.
