A fire that swept through the building of Russia’s air defense firm Almaz-Antei in northern Moscow on Wednesday has been brought under control, an Emergencies Ministry spokesman said.
Oleg Mitvol, the prefect of Moscow’s northern district, said the fire may have been caused by the violation of construction work regulations.
“[Construction] work involving open flames was being carried out on the seventh floor,” he said.
