Fire Reported at Olenya Strategic Air Base in Russia A short video circulating online appears to show a significant fire at the Olenya strategic air base in Murmansk Oblast, Russia. The footage, which lasts only 36 seconds, depicts a large plume of black smoke rising from what seems to be an aircraft on the runway. The video's authenticity has yet to be independently verified. The video's brief nature limits the details provided. However, the location and the apparent scale of the fire are noteworthy given the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The video has sparked speculation about a possible attack or accident at the base, although conclusive evidence is currently lacking. "The smoke is incredibly thick," noted one online observer who shared the video. "It's hard to tell exactly what's burning, but it looks serious." Further investigation is needed to determine the cause and extent of the damage at Olenya air base. Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.
