MOSCOW (Reuters) – A factory that produces acetone in Russia’s Leningrad region was engulfed in flames on Friday morning with fire services working to extinguish the blaze, Russian news agencies reported.

There was no immediate word on what had caused the fire on an industrial estate in the town of Gatchina and the Russian Defence Ministry did not report any Ukrainian drones over the region, which is adjacent to St Petersburg, overnight.
