The Ministry of Emergency Situations, commenting on what happened, announced “technical work” at the Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant.
Yet another cigarette accident.
Good! More!
Can we estimate the diameter of the explosion ? I would guess between 2 km and 10 km. There will be satellite images later on : maybe it will take a few months before we (civil) know...
P.S. : it is about 1000km from Ukraine
I would guess between 2 km and 10 km.

The largest strategic nuclear weapon ever built, a 50 megaton weapon, would produce a fireball slightly over 5 km.
I think that it is extremely safe to say that whatever fireball the factory had wasn't 10 km in diameter.
N.B. : the Halifax explosion was about 0.003 megaton (2.9 kilotons of TNT)
(...) Every building within a 2.6_km (...) radius, over 12,000 in total, was destroyed or badly damaged. (...)

That'll be damage from the blast, rather than the fireball. Can't see blast damage in the video, so I assume that you're talking about the fireball.
Didn't the radius of damage have a fitting name?
I don't know, sorry.
“… which USED to produce ballistic missiles. “
Heeeey yeah!
Produced, missiles.
According to Wikipedia, which I know isn't a great source, they still produce Iskander missiles.
I think they meant until today 💥 🙂
Ah, I just got wooshed 🤦
Time to update that wiki...
