“Due to the reasons for the fire, yesterday I contacted law enforcement about investigating the incident. All versions are being considered, including possible arson. Now an investigative team from the Darnitsky Unitary State Administration of the NP in Kiev is working on the spot “, he said.
The State Emergency Service and drone crews were on duty on the territory of the eco-park to monitor possible recurrent fires.
