Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- At the Kosmonavti metro station, a small amount of smoke occurred in the metro carriage. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Uzbekistan.

“Today, on 23 December at 12:15 pm, there was a slight smoke in the third carriage of the train at the Kosmonavti metro station. The smoke did not cause a fire,” the ministry said in a statement.

Instantly, the passengers were escorted to the station. The fire and rescue teams of the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived at the scene. None of the passengers were injured.
