Mystery Explosion Less than 100 Miles from Moscow Leaves Kremlin Confused
A mystery explosion that was reported by locals less than 100 miles from Russia’s capital has left the Kremlin fumbling for answers.
The blast occurred in Kolomna near Moscow on Thursday evening, state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported, citing the city administration. Its cause is still unknown.
Footage circulating on social media shows eyewitnesses describing the explosion as being preceded by a loud whistle and followed by smoke and a glow.
Emergency services later said they had been unable to detect signs of an explosion.
It came days after Russian news outlet Baza reported that there had been a “massive drone attack on Russia,” with unidentified objects or drones spotted in at least five regions in the space of 24 hours.
On Tuesday, Russia temporarily closed airspace over St. Petersburg amid unconfirmed reports that an unidentified object, possibly a drone, had been spotted above the city.
