BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least eight people have died in a large office building fire near Moscow, the regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emergency officials told the state-owned Tass news agency that just one person was rescued from the blaze at the burning building in Fryazino, about 25km (15.5 miles) north-east of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two people were killed after they jumped from a window, while six died when the interior of the office collapsed in the blaze, Mr Voroyov wrote in a post to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Footage online showed thick smoke billowing from the upper floors of the eight-storey complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are conflicting reports about the building’s purpose. It once homed the Platan Research Institute and defence industry, according to Tass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A statement to the agency from Ruselectronics, a Russia-owned electronics organisation, said the building has been privately owned since the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, opposition media outlets recently reported that Platan was based in the building as late as 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Vorobyov said that a 34-year-old man had been taken to hospital in a serious condition, while two firefighters were also being treated for injuries sustained in the blaze. Local emergency services said the man was the only person rescued from the blaze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
