A fire erupted in a warehouse of a former furniture factory on Nekrasova Street in the city of Khimki in Moscow Oblast, Russian state-controlled news outlet Moscow 24 reported on Telegram on July 3.
The warehouse fire subsequently led to a nearby factory catching fire.
Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti later reported that an area of approximately 2,500 square meters was on fire.
There is no information about victims or other casualties. The origins of the fire have not been reported.
Since the start of Russia's all-out war against Ukraine, there have been multiple reports about fires breaking out across Russia. They are thought to be the work of local partisan groups or acts of sabotage.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
