A fire broke out at the Central Research Institute of the Aerospace Defense Forces affiliated to the Russian Ministry of Defense at 11:08 am local time in Tver, Russia. Firefighters and search and rescue teams from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia (EMERCOM) and many ambulances were dispatched to the scene. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the dead bodies of 2 people were removed from the building, and 30 people were rescued with injuries. The ministry also stated that some people were injured by jumping from the windows after the fire started and that all people in the building have now been evacuated. Meanwhile, part of the building completely collapsed after the fire. One of the Tver area officials of EMERCOM stated that the power lines in the building were very old and it was most likely the fire could have started because of this.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
