Russia has rejected reports saying that there was a fire at the Ministry of Defense building, according to state news agency TASS on Thursday.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) did not detect a fire at the MOD building, TASS quoted the Moscow City MES Department as saying.

“The presence of a fire has not been confirmed, as no fire was detected by the fire brigade upon arrival. Neither is there any information about victims,” the press service of the Moscow department said.

Video showed that smoke surrounding the MOD building and a woman heard saying “the smell of burning is horrible.”
