Asadov said: "After the accident, report to the president immediately. On the same day, a working group led by Security Council Chairman Victor Makhmudov was sent to the scene of the accident. They analyzed the damage. In order to quickly repair the damaged buildings, a special committee led by First Deputy Prime Minister Achilbay Ramatov and the governor was also formed to mainly repair damaged windows of small and medium-sized enterprises."
After active efforts, more than 10,000 square meters of glass has been transported to the Sir River Prefecture, and almost all damaged houses have been repaired. As for the injured, according to the latest news, 17 people were injured, and 7 soldiers are still receiving treatment in the hospital. Among the civilians, all compatriots who were seeking medical assistance received timely help and were sent home. "
Asadov emphasized that the explosion did not detonate anywhere else. He said: "This warehouse was built in the 1940s and according to technical regulations, a large number of weapons were stored here before that. But after 2016, all warehouses were being renovated according to the president's instructions.
According to world standards, smaller warehouses are built around them, where a small number of weapons are stored. All engineering is carried out according to international standards, so that widespread overflow of dangerous elements can be prevented even in the event of an explosion. "
Asadov concluded: "The explosion mainly damaged the roofs and windows of nearby buildings. The incident is currently under investigation and after all factors are considered, the relevant details will be released to the public in the future. ”
