Russian media claim that the cause of the explosion could allegedly be a network failure. According to them, it is of a purely technical nature. Public reports note that the fire was contained and did not spread to the forest. However, some consumers now lack gas – as of 2014, almost 30 thousand people lived in Alushta.
