Russia is in contact with Turkey regarding the export of grain from Ukraine but there are a lot of uncertainties from the Ukrainian side, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.

Turkey on Wednesday said it would "take some time" to de-mine Ukraine's ports but that a safe sea corridor could be established in areas without mines under a UN proposal. Russia said it had offered "safe passage" for Ukrainian grain shipments from Black Sea ports but was not responsible for establishing the corridors.

Russia said on Thursday it was facilitating the export of grain and oilseeds from Ukraine through Russian-held transit points on the Azov Sea, without explaining who was providing the foodstuffs for export.

Firefighters have brought under control a fire at a liquefied gas site in Rey City south of Tehran, the Ministry of Oil's news outlet SHANA reported on Wednesday, adding there were no casualties.

"An incident took place in one of the depots of Rey's liquefied gas storage facility, not at the oil storage facility," Keramat Veiskarami, CEO of Iran's National Petroleum Products Distribution Company, told SHANA, referring to earlier news reports.

According to Reuters, Veiskarami said information regarding the cause of the incident would be released later.

Rey is located 11 kilometers south of Tehran.
