Russia: Blaze engulfs Europe's tallest building site

Huge flames danced for hours as a massive fire engulfed the top floors of an under-construction Moscow skyscraper that is set to be Europe’s tallest.

The fire at the eastern part of the Federation Tower complex was visible from much of the the city’s western half, but no injuries were reported in the blaze.

Two firefighting helicopters noisily circled the blaze, dumping huge buckets of water on the flames. The Emergencies Ministry said the fire was stopped from spreading by about 11.30pm (5.30am Tuesday AEST), some three hours after it began.
