A fire and an explosion at a gas station killed at least 35 people in southern Russia, the authorities said Tuesday, in a disaster that struck one of the country’s poorest regions. There were no immediate reports of foul play or of a connection to the war in Ukraine. Russian state media said a fire at a nearby building on Monday evening caused an explosion at the gas station in Makhachkala, the capital of the Dagestan region, on the Caspian Sea and near the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. Witnesses interviewed by the Russian news media described an enormous blast. “I was at home, lying on the couch,” one woman said in a video interview circulated by Tass, a state-run news agency.

Sept 25 (Reuters) - Police clashed on Sunday with people opposed to the mobilisation in the southern Russian region of Dagestan, underscoring the level of discontent with President Vladimir Putin's decision to send hundreds of thousands more men to fight in Ukraine. Russia's first military mobilisation since World War Two, announced by Putin on Wednesday, has triggered protests in dozens of cities across the country. Public anger has appeared to be particularly strong in poor ethnic minority regions like Dagestan, a Muslim-majority region located on the shores of the Caspian Sea in the mountainous north Caucasus. There have been several reports from across Russia of people with no military service or parents of young children being called up in the draft - despite guarantees from Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu they would be excluded. Earlier on Sunday Russia's two most senior lawmakers - key Putin allies - also addressed public concerns about mobilisation, acknowledging "excesses" had stoked public anger.
