7 people have died and dozens injured after a fire started inside a Russian defense building with employees seen jumping from low story windows to escape, the cause of the fire has yet to materialize.

Footage from the outside shows the blaze encircling the building and shooting upwards, like what happened during the 2017 Grenfell Tower Fire.

Inquiries as to how the fire started have yet to bear fruit, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and questions concerning the health of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

For now the theory is that faulty wiring in the building may have been the cause, but the exact cause is still up in the air.

The building was used for research and designs concerning air and space defense, along with anti-air systems.
