The cause of the fire has not been reported.

A large-scale explosion occurred on the grounds of the Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant on Aug. 9. According to Russian media, the plant was developing a new generation Russian bomber.

Videos of shells near the explosion site were also posted online. This may indicate that the "pyrotechnics warehouse" was really a weapons arsenal.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
