The building is under the control of the Central Research Institute of the Russian Air Force, Ministry of Defense. He claimed that the fire broke out in an administrative wing and spread from there to the upper floors. The roof of the building collapsed and a number of people jumped from the windows.

Smoke emitted from the building, located 160 kilometers from Moscow. A few hours later, there was unconfirmed news of a fire at the largest chemical plant in Russia. The plant in Kinesma, 300 kilometers northeast of Moscow, is the largest butyl acetate plant in Russia, and photos uploaded to social media on Thursday showed thick smoke above the building. The Russian authorities have not yet identified any of the causes of the fire.

However, it is also said that the military prosecutor is investigating the devastating fire in Tver. According to information in the Russian state media, an obsolete wire has appeared as a possible explanation at the moment.
