A gas-cylinder explosion has sparked a fire at a Russian laboratory housing one of the worlds most comprehensive collections of dangerous viruses.
....
All glass in the building was said to have been broken in the blast. A fire covering about 30 square meters was extinguished after the explosion.
In the 1970-1980s, the research center developed biological and bacteriological weapons, as well as means of protection against them.
Under Rospotrebnadzor supervision, the center stores dangerous strains of smallpox, anthrax, Ebola, and other viruses.
