Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted on Wednesday that Russia had evacuated night-shift staff at the Titan chemicals plant in Crimea.
The chemicals producer is in Armyansk in the northern part of the Ukrainian peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014, about 2 km from territory under Ukrainian control.

Russian tanks and armoured personnel carriers were seen in Armyansk in recent days, a Crimean resident told Reuters.Ukraine's foreign minister said the evacuation of the plant was a possible preparation for another staged provocation by Russia.The military intelligence unit of Ukraine's defence ministry said that 50 Titan employees were evacuated on Wednesday evening. The intelligence unit did not rule out that Russia could stage a "terrorist attack" or "chemical sabotage.
