Soroca commemorates victims of 2007 apartment explosion
Officials in Soroca, Moldova, held a commemoration to mark the 19th anniversary of a fatal explosion that occurred on October 27, 2007. The blast destroyed three floors of a five-story residential building on Ștefan cel Mare Street.
The tragedy resulted in the deaths of five people: an 11-year-old girl, three adults, and a rescuer who died after being struck by a concrete slab during the three-day search operation. More than 50 rescuers were mobilized to recover victims from the rubble.
Representatives from the Soroca District Council, the Soroca City Hall, and the Emergency Situations Directorate laid flowers at a commemorative plaque located at the site of the former building, which was demolished nearly a month after the incident.
