A massive fire gutted a shopping mall on Moscow’s eastern outskirts on Monday, the second such blaze in four days.
The blaze at the mall in Balashikha that trades in construction items and home decoration materials first erupted at a storage area and later spread to part of the building.
A guard was hospitalised after inhaling toxic fumes from the fire.
Fire-fighting teams managed to localize it to an area of about 9,000 square meters (97,000 square feet) and prevent it from engulfing the entire mall.
