A fire broke out on the 18th floor of a 30-storey high rise residential apartment in the Elephant and Castle district of London, England. The surrounding of the building was evacuated shortly after being cordoned off by the police. Sixty firefighters intervened in the flames with eight fire engines. The street where the building is located was temporarily closed to traffic and the fire was brought under control, the London Fire Brigade stated. No casualties were reported; however, the cause of the fire is not yet known.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
