Fire at Russian Defense Ministry Building in Moscow Extinguished

TL;DR Summary
A TikTok video claimed that the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow was on fire, which is technically accurate, but the fire was restricted to a small section on the third floor of the building and was put out shortly after it was reported. There have been a string of fires in and around Moscow since 2022, including at military and defense centers. The Kremlin believes a recent bombing that killed a pro-Putin blogger was orchestrated by Ukraine.
