Ukrainian Firefighters Struggle To Put Out A Big Fire Threatening Odesa's Gandum Warehouse

No casualties or injuries were reported as a result of a fire that stretched about 2,000 meters and scorched some of the facilities in Vizyrka village. Authorities did not specify the cause.

"Thanks to the fire brigade's swift action, the fire can be prevented from spreading to the nearest wheat warehouse," state emergency services said.
