| Fire breaks out at iconic Moscow convent near Kremlin (WATCH LIVE) | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| A blaze has broken out at Moscow's Rozhdestvensky Convent, one of the oldest buildings in the capital. It is unclear what caused the fire, but efforts to put it out are ongoing. | |
| Footage by RT’s video agency Ruptly shows the fire engulfing the roof of a building behind the historic nunnery’s wall, with thick smoke billowing. | |
| Also known as the Convent of Nativity of Theotokos, the nunnery is located about two kilometers outside the Kremlin’s walls and is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Moscow. | |
| Ruptly’s live feed showed the ancient building’s roof still burning on the inside, after firefighters said they'd contained the spread of the blaze in about half-an-hour. | |
| In 2015, a blaze raged for hours at Moscow's iconic Novodevichy (New Maiden) Convent — one of the city’s top tourist attractions — while the building was undergoing refurbishment efforts. | In 2015, a blaze raged for hours at Moscow's iconic Novodevichy (New Maiden) Convent — one of the city’s top tourist attractions — while the building was undergoing refurbishment efforts. |
