A car explosion in Moscow’s New Moscow area caused a fireball, shattered windows in a nearby 17-story building, and triggered a major investigation, though no injuries were reported as the vehicle was empty. Authorities are probing whether the blast resulted from a technical issue, arson, or an improvised device. The incident adds to a recent pattern of similar explosions in residential zones, with no clear motive yet. Meanwhile, Ukraine reaffirmed its opposition to withdrawing from the Donbas or abandoning NATO aspirations, and Germany pledged €170 million to support Ukraine’s energy systems.
