Russian media on July 16 reported a fire at a non-functional military hospital in the Russian city of Bryansk.

The hospital is reportedly under construction.

Mash, a Russian Telegram channel, reported that the fire broke out following an alleged drone attack.

RIA Novosti, a state-controlled news agency, reported that construction debris was burning at the hospital.

This is the second fire reported at the site over the past month.

No casualties were reported.

Russian forces use Bryansk Oblast to attack Ukraine as it borders Ukraine's Sumy and Chernihiv oblasts.

There have been multiple reports since the start of the full-scale invasion about fires, explosions, and alleged acts of sabotage in Russia.

Merkel describes Trump as 'fascinated by Putin' in her memoir.

"(Donald Trump) saw everything from the point of view of a property developer, which is what he was before he came into politics. Every plot of land could only be sold once, and if he didn't get it, someone else would," Angela Merkel says in her memoir.
