Irkutsk

For the second time in a week, a Russian military plane has crashed into a residential building. A Su-30 fighter jet fell on a two-story house in Irkutsk, TASS reported. The information was confirmed in "Telegram" by the governor of the district, Igor Kobzev.

The new Russian director of the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center says he has no intention of persuading anyone that the facility is not a military base.

The arrival of Viktor Gulyevich, "a Baikal commander," to Nis, a town in southern Serbia, has stirred spirits when it comes to the Center (RSHC), Sputnik said.

A Siberian city declared a state of emergency Dec. 19 after 41 people seeking cheap alcohol died from drinking bath essence containing methanol, a toxic substance used in anti-freeze.

The Russian Investigative Committee has launched a probe into the deaths caused by drinking a liquid labelled as hawthorn-scented bath essence, and has detained several people. 

Russia’s top investigative agency says that at least eight people have died of alcohol poisoning in a Siberian city.
