At least 10 people were killed and 19 injured in an explosion at a munitions facility in Russia’s Urals, regional governor Alexei Teksler said. The blast occurred in the Kopeisk district of the Chelyabinsk region, which borders Kazakhstan. Verified footage shows a fireball near the Plastmass plant, which produces and recycles explosives for the Russian military. Teksler said the cause remains unclear but denied a drone attack. The fire, reported late Wednesday, has been extinguished; search teams continued working Thursday with 12 staff unaccounted for. Friday was declared a day of mourning as investigators opened a criminal inquiry.
