Ανεστάλη η επιχείρηση κατάσβεσης της πυρκαγιάς στην αποθήκη στην πόλη Τιαντζίν της βόρειας Κίνας καθώς δεν είναι σαφές το ακριβές περιεχόμενό της και η ποσότητα των “εύφλεκτων υλικών” που βρίσκονται στους χώρους της, αναφέρει ανακοίνωση της τοπικής κυβέρνησης.

Όπως μετέδωσε σήμερα η κρατική τηλεόραση, εννέα πυροσβέστες έχασαν τη ζωή τους στην προσπάθειά τους να θέσουν υπό έλεγχο την πυρκαγιά, η οποία ξέσπασε χθες Τετάρτη όταν πήρε φωτιά ένα φορτίο με εκρηκτικά μέσα στην αποθήκη όπου φυλάσσονταν με αποτέλεσμα να σημειωθούν δύο ισχυρές εκρήξεις και να σκοτωθούν δεκάδες άνθρωποι. Όπως μετέδωσαν μάλιστα πριν από λίγο τα κινεζικά Μέσα, ο αριθμός των νεκρών έφτασε τους 44, ενω οι τραυματίες υπολογίζονται γύρω στους 400.

Δεν έχει γίνει ακόμη γνωστό αν οι εννέα πυροσβέστες που έχασαν τη ζωή τους περιλαμβάνονται στα 17 θύματα του δυστυχήματος.
