The Ministry explained that this decision, agreed upon among the Provincial Defense Council, the Ministry of the Interior and the Revolutionary Armed Forces, resulted from the fact that the houses are located at a distance that no longer represents a danger of future damage due to the incident.
On its official profile on social networks, the MINFAR pointed out that specialized actions continue within the limits of a certain radius from the center of the place.
The MINFAR also explained that it is not possible yet to enter the specific site of the incident because the explosions are still active, with less force than in previous days, but with dangers for the physical integrity of humans.
It stressed that as soon as conditions allow it, access to the site will be made with all the established protection measures, and assured that contact is maintained with the relatives of the missing people and that the population continues to be informed.
On January 7, the MINFAR informed about explosions at a construction site, where war material is stored.
So far, Major Leonar Palma Matos and Major Carlos Carreño del Río, and second non-commissioned officers Orleban Camet Torres, and Yoennis Pérez Durand are reported missing, as well as soldiers Leinier Jorget Sanchez Franco, Frank Antonio Hidalgo Almaguer, Liander Jose Gracia Oliva, Yunior Hernandez Rojas, Rainer Rojas Rojas, Carlos Alejandro Acosta Silva, Bryan Lazaro Rojas Long, Jose Carlos Guerrero Garcia and Hector Adrian Batista Zayas.
