According to a representative of the regional emergency department, a sixteen-storey building under construction is burning in the Leninsky district of Grozny.
He also said that the fire broke out on the 16th floor, where wooden structures had been assembled for the construction work.
‘‘9 units of equipment and 40 firemen are involved in firefighting," RIA Novosti cites a representative of the regional emergencies department.
There are no victims, because the house was uninhabited. There were no builders at the site.
