At least one person was killed and two were injured on Thursday after a fire broke out at a compound used by Russia’s Federal Security Service, known as the FSB, in the southern city of Rostov. Speculation swirled early on about the cause of the blaze – the FSB is located just 43 miles from Ukraine near the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, where heavy fighting rages.
Indeed, over the past year, state facilities inside Russia have come under attack from those opposed to the Kremlin’s conscription measures, while Ukrainian nationalists have also been accused of sabotaging Russian infrastructure – like the Nord Stream pipelines.
