Time of recording: 23:04 (28.06.2026)!

From the scene: fire in a Stalin-era building in central Minsk at Lenin Street, 9.

The fire reignited on the roof, view from the courtyard...

The Red Cross has set up a tent.

Let's wish the rescuers strength.

The smoke is very acrid. I can't imagine what it's like for rescuers on the aerial ladder, even with oxygen tanks. I'm sure this sharp smell penetrates through the mask.

The fire has currently been localized. Rescuers are still working to extinguish the blaze.
