Mystery explosions in Biysk linked to industrial blasting operations

Loud explosions startled residents of Biysk on March 13, with some reporting vibrations through their buildings. Local officials quickly moved to explain the source of the noise, linking it to routine industrial activity in the area.

The blasts were traced to intensified controlled blasting at Biysk's industrial zone and testing facilities. Authorities confirmed that such operations form part of the standard production cycle at the Biysk Oleum Plant and related sites. While exact figures on recent explosions remain undisclosed, officials noted that adverse weather may have carried the sound further than usual.

The city administration urged residents to stay calm, reassuring them that the noise posed no immediate danger. No further details were provided on how long the heightened blasting would continue or whether similar incidents had occurred in previous years.

The explosions, though unsettling, were described as a normal part of industrial operations. Residents were advised to expect occasional noise from the area, particularly under certain weather conditions. No additional safety measures or public updates have been announced.
