On the night of May 22-23, 2016, in the resort town of Zatoka in the Odessa region, two recreation centers, "Topaz" and "Geolog," which are part of the State Geological Service, burned down. The State Emergency Service of the Odessa region reports that nine wooden houses were destroyed and a cafeteria building was damaged. The total area engulfed by the fire was 900 square meters.

The State Geology and Mineral Resources Service of Ukraine (Gosgeonedra) reports that the recreation centers where the fire occurred are located on the coastal strip. An attempt is underway to seize this territory. According to the agency, 30 armed men broke into the camp the previous evening, expelling the camp staff and setting the buildings on fire. The State Geology and Mineral Resources Service also reported that the armed men are still on the grounds of the Topaz recreation center, and that the buildings are unfit for further use as a result of the fire.

The State Geological Survey noted that the dispute over the territory of its base has been ongoing for 12 years. In 2004, Ms. Leshchuk (born 1930) became the owner of the recreation center based on a ruling by the Belgorod-Dnistrovsky District Court. This ruling was later overturned by the Odesa Regional Court of Appeal. The Supreme Economic Court, in turn, recognized the State Geological Survey's ownership of the Topaz recreation center.
