MOSCOW, November 2 (AVN) - Defence Ministry prohibited artillery shoot ecologically dangerous objects, major-general Boris Alekseev, Russian armed forces environment security chief said at briefing in Russian Information Centre.
Last 8-10 years Chechnya was no only a terrorist centre, but ecological disaster centre as well.
There is a so-called lens of about two tuns of oil (30 square kilometres area, 12 meters depth) near Chechen capital.
Oil goes to the Terek and Sunzha rivers.
15 000 oil mini-plants that risen in Chechnya increase the problem.
Near Tolstoy-Yurt village there is a five hectares area of nuclear waists, Alekseev added.
Aviation and artillery do not shoot this territory.
If guerrillas make a terrorist act here a territory of 10 square kilometres may be damaged.
