Skopinsky District (Russian: Скопи́нский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[7] district (raion), one of the twenty-five in Ryazan Oblast, Russia. It is located in the southwest of the oblast. The area of the district is 1,720 square kilometers (660 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the town of Skopin[2] (which is not administratively a part of the district).[1] Population: 27,080 (2010 Census);[4] 31,142 (2002 Census);[9] 40,965 (1989 Census).[10]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Skopinsky District is one of the twenty-five in the oblast.[1] The town of Skopin serves as its administrative center,[2] despite being incorporated separately as a town of oblast significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1]

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Skopinsky Municipal District.[7] The town of oblast significance of Skopin is incorporated separately from the district as Skopin Urban Okrug.[11]

On 7 October 2020, a grass fire reached ammunition in open storage at Military Unit Number 55443 (once maybe the GRAU’s 97th Arsenal) near Zheltukhino (ru:Желтухино (деревня, Рязанская область)) in Skopinsky District, Ryazan Oblast, igniting munitions.[12][13] Whether GRAU or the Western Military District was responsible for the depot was not clear. Interfaks-AVN wrote that there were 113 warehouses and bunkers with 75,000 tons of missiles, rockets, and artillery shells (including 152-mm) at the site. A women died from injuries and there were at least another 15 victims in stable condition; the fire and explosions "damaged 430 structures, public facilities, apartment buildings, and private homes."
