Reports of a fire in the Angren thermal power plant area have been circulating on social networks. The Ministry of Energy has provided official information regarding the situation.
According to the Ministry, the report titled "Fire broke out in the old GRES area in Angren" is false. There have been no fires at the Angren IES, and the station continues to operate normally.
"We urge social network administrators to refrain from disseminating unverified information, as there are legal consequences for spreading false news," the statement read.
For context, on January 20, 2021, three employees of "Vostokenergoteploizolyatsiya" JSC died from injuries caused by an explosion of a coal-dust air mixture in the boiler unit of the Yangi-Angren TPP.
It is also worth noting that the New Angren IES was previously fined for environmental violations.
