A warehouse complex in Saint Petersburg is burning, with the fire area expanding from 22,000 to 82,000 square meters over several hours, according to Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS). Authorities have not declared a drone or missile threat, and no drone sounds or air defense activity were reported by a witness.
Why it matters
