Homes belonging to some of Russia’s elite destroyed in fire
A fire is raging inside a block of multi-million pound homes in Moscow.
The Roza Rossa complex of luxury residences and a hotel has been engulfed in flames this morning.
Video appears to show the penthouse well alight.
The six-story building is located in a central district of Moscow and has won a series of international awards for architecture.
Smoke billowed out of the 211 apartment block, reportedly worth more than one billion rubles, or £90,000,000, and was seen across Moscow’s skyline.

There is a risk of fire spreading to neighboring buildings, according to Belarussian news site Charter97.
It is currently not clear what caused the fire or whether anyone is inside the building.
The Roza Rossa, which is 20 minutes away from the Kremlin, won the International Property Awards International and the International Property Awards Europe in 2019.
Building of the Roza Rossa was completed in December 2022.
The fire has now been contained, according to Russian news site Mash.
The project’s brainchild is the Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni.
