An intense fire has broken out in Moscow on the territory of a thermal power plant. A gas pipeline caught fire, according to the Telegram channel Mash.

According to information from the propagandist channel, the roof of the building on the territory of TEC-16, where the fire started, has already collapsed. The entire area is enveloped in thick smoke. The fire has been classified as a high-complexity incident.

Online sources clarify that firefighters are not yet extinguishing the fire, as they are waiting for the power supply to be disconnected entirely on the plant's premises.
