Lipetsk Governor Igor Artamonov announced the evacuation of four local communities via his Telegram channel to ensure public safety, Xinhua news agency reported.
"To eliminate the consequences of the detonation of explosive objects, a state of emergency is being introduced on the territory of the Lipetsk Municipal District. To ensure the safety of residents, it was decided to evacuate the settlements: Koptsevy Khutor, Fedorovka, Yakovlevka, Tynkovka," Artamonov said.
