Videos of an alleged explosion at a Russian industrial plant are causing speculation. The images are said to be images of an industrial facility belonging to the Russian space agency Roscosmos in the southern Siberian city of Biyrsk.
The mayor of Biysk tries to calm things down, but other authorities remain silent. There is debate online about the authenticity of the videos. If the industrial facility were destroyed, it would be a bitter blow. Putin has repeatedly emphasized the value of such facilities and Russian weapons production for Russia's success in Ukraine.
