Egypt restricts Russian agricultural imports following nuclear incident

Egypt tightens controls of Russian agricultural imports following nuclear incident: Egypt will tighten controls of imports of agricultural goods from Russia following last week’s nuclear incident, head of the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) Hussein Mansour told Al Masry Al Youm. The measure is being taken due to concerns over the possible radioactive contamination of food products, Mansour said, adding that the import restrictions could be expanded to include countries bordering Russia. A village was ordered to evacuate last week after an explosion at a nuclear facility in the northern Arkhangelsk Oblast left at least five people dead. State nuclear company Rosatom has been tight-lipped about the incident, but experts have suggested that the explosion occurred during tests on an experimental nuclear missile.
