A building of a "former" factory is ablaze in Moscow: part of the roof has collapsed (photos included).

A fire broke out on Tushinskaya Street in Moscow. Details and footage from the scene were shared on January 31 by the Russian media outlet Readovka.

It is reported that the fire started in the building of the former Cheryshev Machine-Building Plant, but subsequently spread to a neighboring dormitory.

Hundreds of migrants emerged onto the street with their belongings. According to media reports, it turned out that several illegal hostels were located on the territory of the former plant. This concerns at least three hostels — "Atlas", "Master", and "Sail".

An employee of a nearby enterprise stated that the flare-up occurred in one of the illegal shelters. Journalists visited the "Sail" hostel. Although the fire did not affect it, there was a noticeable smell and disorder inside.

It is noted that all the individuals who came out with suitcases and bags do not speak Russian or have a limited understanding of the language.

The Russian Emergency Ministry confirmed that they are extinguishing a "large fire in Moscow." The press service informed that a two-story administrative building caught fire, resulting in a partial roof collapse.

Subsequently, the ministry clarified that 60 people were evacuated. Another 300 individuals exited the building before the firefighters arrived. The fire spread over an area of 2000 square meters.

The Moscow prosecutor's office assured that law enforcement is monitoring the investigation into the circumstances of the fire. The cause of the ignition is still unknown.

At 8:51, the Emergency Ministry reported that they had called in aviation to assist in extinguishing the fire. The fire has been localized, and there is no information on any injuries.

Recall that the UK Ministry of Defence discussed the aftermath of Ukrainian drone strikes on the "Crystal" oil depot in Russia. The facility was first hit on January 8, and another fire broke out there on January 14.

According to Army Recognition, this attack illustrates a new level of precision in the Russian-Ukrainian war and the ability to strike vital infrastructure in the deep rear of the Russian Federation.
