Russia Nuclear Explosion – level 1

19-02-2020 15:00

Russia builds a military base in 1954. Soldiers test rockets and weapons there. In August 2019, there is an explosion. 5 people die in the explosion. The US believes that Russia does a test of a nuclear rocket.

Close to the base, there is a small village. Many people from the village see the explosion.

People grow food in their gardens. They do not want to eat it. They think that it is not safe to eat the food. They worry about their health. Officials say that it is safe to eat the food.

People are scared. They want to get more information about the explosion. However, officials say nothing.

Difficult words: military base (a place where soldiers work and live and they have a lot of machines and weapons there), explosion (when something breaks into small pieces and there is a very loud noise), nuclear rocket (a very dangerous weapon that has big power and it can kill many people).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
