A huge explosion ripped through a gunpowder factory in Russia on Friday as fighting also continued in Ukraine ahead of a bombshell summit between Presidents Putin and Trump in Alaska.
Five people were killed and at least 20 were injured, 10 of them seriously, in the blast that sparked a huge fire at the Elastik gunpowder plant near the city of Ryazan, just over 100 miles southeast of Moscow.
More bodies are feared trapped under the rubble, local reports said.
The blast was not immediately blamed on Ukraine, with local media noting an earlier explosion at the same factory killed 17 people in 2021.
