Multiple emergency calls reported a possible fire at an oil storage facility located on Komunālā Street in Rēzekne. Upon arrival, firefighters confirmed that there was no open fire but performed cooling measures on a single reservoir. Following a request from the Latvian Army, cellular broadcast notifications were sent out by VUGD in Ludza and Balvi at 04:09 UTC, and later in Rēzekne County at 04:43 UTC.
