Fire kills 8 in office building near Moscow

At least eight people have died in a fire in an office building near Moscow, including two who jumped from the building to escape the flames. State news agency Tass said Monday that the fire in Fryazino, about 25 kilometers northeast of the Russian capital, was caused by a malfunctioning electrical system. Videos shared on social media show thick plumes of smoke rising from windows throughout the multistory office building. The regional governor Andrei Vorobyev said on the social platform Telegram that oxygen tanks stored in the building exploded, causing ceilings to collapse. Vorobyev says two people died when they jumped from the building and six more died inside.
