At the meeting, among other things, was said that citizens that were evacuated, based on the estimates of experts, were returned home, but they were warned that there were still sporadic explosions that were heard during the afternoon, and to stay on alert. According to available information, it seems that the explosion occurred due to a higher force – a fire that could not be controlled and rapidly expanded to the military warehouse. Great dedication and superhuman efforts of 16 CAF members who were in the warehouse and that until the last moment were trying to put out the fire until explosions started was highlighted.
