They reportedly came from a major fire that raged through a “huge amount of equipment, including military equipment” at a bearings factory.
According to local Telegram channels, the blaze engulfed an area of 100 square meters and was triggered after oil caught fire.

This tempest in a teapot is not going to accomplish anything good for either party. I hope it gets sorted out as quickly as possible. In the meantime I am certain the Kremlin is rubbing its bloody hands in anticipatory glee.
