Speculation Abounds After Fire at Russian Defense Ministry

Reports of a fire at a Russian Ministry of Defense building in Moscow were denied by local officials, despite social media users sharing videos and reports of smoke and a burning smell. The incident has sparked speculation amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, with recent drone attacks and concerns about potential Russian retaliation. U.S. officials believe a drone attack on the Kremlin was likely orchestrated by one of Ukraine's special military or intelligence units, but it remains unclear who carried out the attack or whether President Volodymyr Zelensky or his inner circle knew of the operation.
