Russian media is reporting a large fire at a Russian Defense Ministry research facility in the city of Tver under mysterious circumstances. The site is about 110 miles northwest of Moscow.
There may have possibly been an explosion, given that RT reports two people killed and at least 20 injured, and with aerial footage showing a huge blaze and thick clouds of smoke over the area.

Emergency and rescue personnel are on the scene. The upper floors of the building are said to belong to the government's Central Research and Development Institute of Aerospace Defense Troops.
"According to preliminary data, the blaze spanned across some thousand square meters and caused a partial collapse of the roof," Russian media reports.

"The fire had started in one of the rooms on the second floor of the administrative building."
There have been reports of an uptick in forest fires in various parts of Russia, but it's as yet unknown or unclear the cause behind Thursday's massive blaze.

Could also be "destroying records"
James Bondokov?
Maybe sabotage. Since it’s Russia simple incompetence is most likely.
I do not know who the heck that is, But I do know that ain’t James Bond. Think Sean Connery
I think he made a very interesting Bond - if we couldn’t have Connery.
(Any day, I expect to hear that the next Bond will be a female lesbian...)
Crew of Mosckva strikes again!
It’s likely just an accident. Russians are not exactly enamored of safety protocols.
There are easier ways to destroy records. i suspect stupid accident, or someone anti Putin throught independant thought or because important person in their life has been hurt or destroyed by Putin’s tyranny. Interesting about the increase in forest fires. Are there drought conditions that would explain it or not?
What deadly disease could possibly be floating around in the smoke?
Gee that’s too bad.

Here is a link for the Russian forest fires which seem to be double this year from last year. The source is an independent news source about Russia. There are several interesting stories linked there. One is about a Sherbank officer who has fled. I wonder if this is related to the suicide/murder(?) of an official and his family connected with the gas banking sector?

Weather wars are real, direct moisture laden fronts away from target areas, just a few matches in the right place and you get destruction. The US is the best at the weather wars, they have been doing this in CA for quite a while now.
