State news agency Tass says the fire in Fryazino, about 25 km northeast of the Russian capital, was caused by a malfunctioning electrical system
At least eight people died Monday in a fire in an office building near Moscow, including two who jumped from the building to escape the flames, authorities said.
The regional governor Andrei Vorobyev said in a post on the social platform Telegram that oxygen tanks stored in the building exploded, causing some ceilings to collapse. Two people died when they jumped from the building and six more died inside, Vorobyev said. The Platan Research Institute is among several Russian companies sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury for meddling in foreign elections, carrying out malicious cyber operations and undermining security abroad. The Treasury listing said the Platan Research Institute is based at the same address as the building that caught fire.
Russian newspaper Kommersant was more descriptive, saying the Institute develops equipment used by Russia’s military, including in fighter jets, bombers and helicopters, as well as in missiles, “all types of nuclear submarine missile carriers,” long-range radar and anti-aircraft missile systems.
