A building of the MiG jet factory in the Russian capital caught fire, and relevant services started evacuating employees.
Russian Telegram channels report that the fire broke out "in a workshop undergoing reconstruction" attached to the factory building, which is currently operational.
The fire occurred on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. The fire area is 70 square meters.
Several fire brigades were sent to the scene, and there was a risk of the fire spreading to other factory buildings.
As of 13:55, open burning on the territory of the MiG factory in Moscow has been extinguished. However, the roof continues to smolder.
Firefighters are trying to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings.
