Video: In Russia, a car caught fire at a gas station while the driver was trying to fill jerry cans inside the vehicle
At a Russian gas station, a car caught fire while the driver was attempting to fill jerry cans he had placed inside the vehicle.
Surveillance footage shows the man filling the containers with gasoline right inside the car. At that moment, the fuel-air mixture ignited, and the car’s interior was instantly engulfed in flames.
Gas station employees and bystanders were able to extinguish the fire and push the car out of the station.
The incident occurred amid a fuel shortage in Russia.
Vladimir Putin likely decided to further escalate the war after several weeks of deliberation this summer. According to The Economist, the Russian dictator may be seeking to preserve his power and life through this escalation.
As a reminder, on the afternoon of August 30, Russian troops attacked Kyiv with strike drones. Explosions were heard in the capital, and air defense forces engaged enemy targets.
