The Russian occupiers are preparing a provocation at the chemical plant in Armyansk, temporarily annexed Crimea. They brought explosives to the territory of the Crimean Titan plant and are mining the territory.

This was announced by the head of the regional military administration Alexander Prokudin.

"The probable explosion will cause the release of thousands of tons of toxic substances into the atmosphere, will lead to mortal danger to people and the environment. Residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and at least seven more regions of Ukraine, as well as Turkey and the aggressor country itself, will suffer," the head of the OVA said.

According to him, the regional authorities are ready to respond promptly to all threats that may arise and urged everyone to remain calm and not to succumb to provocations of the enemy.

"We are clearly aware of the threat to our people, carry out constant monitoring of the situation and are ready to respond promptly to all threats that may arise," Prokudin said.
