An oil spill in Moscow鈥檚 river Moskva caught fire on 12 August, sending black smoke across the city, and a few injured people to hospital.
The underwater pipeline 鈥� which transports oil to the local Moscow refinery 鈥� allegedly burst and is said to have been the cause of the fire.
However, officials have disclosed that the river was set alight after a nearby grass fire reached the oil in the river, having leaked from the pipeline.
