The village of Tsikarevo, located near the ammunition depot in the Tver region where the fire and detonation started, was cut off from the outside world due to the fire. According to local residents, the only way to evacuate is by water across Lake Kudinskoye, but there are not enough boats for everyone. Residents of the village have been waiting for help on the shore of the lake for several hours, and contact with some of them has been lost. This was reported by ASTRA.

"Please evacuate people from the village of Tsikarevo. They are on the shore of Lake Kudinskoye and can only be reached by water. For God's sake, help them! There is nothing left of the village.", - writes one of the users in the local chat, addressing the rescue services.

 She said several people were trying to get out by boat, but they only had one oar. The remaining people were waiting for more help, but local authorities were unable to reach them.

The situation in the village escalated after a drone attack on a military unit in Toropets, which resulted in a fire and the detonation of ammunition.
