MOSCOW -- Firefighters have evacuated 120 people from a Moscow business center that is engulfed in flames, officials of the Emergency Ministry of the Russian capital said on June 3.
According to media reports and posts on social networks, an unknown number of people may be trapped on the upper levels of the 10-story Grand Setun Plaza business center in western Moscow.
The fire quickly spread from the ground level up to the fourth floor due to synthetic materials used to cover the building's facade and interior, officials said.
Some 200 firefighters are working at the site.
Emergency Minister Aleksandr Kurenkov is personally supervising the firefighters' efforts to extinguish the fire and assist the rescue of those who may still be inside the building.
The cause of the fire remains unclear.
