A warehouse with paint and varnish products caught fire in Russia's Bogorodsk district of Moscow Oblast, spreading over 3,000 square metres. Source: Kremlin-aligned Russian news outlet RIA Novosti Details: The firefighting is reported to be complicated by the high fire load of the warehouse and the complex layout of the building.
Flames and smoke poured from the Grand Setun Plaza business centre in the Moscow suburb of Kuntsevo this morning, amid fears that up to 40 people could be trapped inside.
The fire began at a power substation supplying the institute, 43 miles southeast of Moscow, which has been crucial to the development of aircraft such as the Su-27, MiG-29, and MiG-31 fighters.
The blaze engulfed a chemical plant making plastic in Berdsk, in the central Novosibirsk region, one of a series of suspected incidents of sabotage within Russia over the past few weeks.
