This and a power outage...........
I wonder if they will continue to sell arms to islamofasists?
"This and a power outage..........."
Don't forget the lake that disappeared the other day ;)
I was going to make a joke about Debka and Pravda, but you just provided a third link. That's going to leave a mark.
Lakes do that sometimes. I would have loved to have watched this one.

Debka is challenging the CBS News and Newsweak record for accuracy!
Debka... Debka... Debka...
ping!
When you get that low in the accuracy department, it's kind of hard to keep track. Isn't the all-time record held by ITAR-TASS?
It's Debka, I'll wait till a serious source reports it. I'm still waiting on confirmation of Debka's special reports on the 2 Iraqi divisions that infiltrated to attack Israel and the 1 million man army Putin sent to conquer Afghanistan.
Wasn't this a Tom Clancy plot?
Actually DUMBKA mostly just lifts stuff from other sources, usually BBC world service or some obscure newswire and doesn't credit it; likely the case here. Only a fraction of their stories are the silly stuff they make up out of thin air (Chinese troops in Afghanistan, etc.)
I smell terrorism.
Yup, about par for Debka. Read a book made a "report". What amazes me is how many people still believe everything some yahoos put on the net. Speaking of Yahoo, just did a search of the News keyword Russia and not a word of this from any sources. Somehow I'm not surprised.

Gas leak in Tula region doesn't pose serious health threat - emergencies service
TULA. May 25 (Interfax) - An explosion that led to the release of nitric oxide occurred at the Novomoskovsky Azot company in the Tula region as a result of Wednesday's electricity outages in the Moscow region, a regional government source told Interfax on Wednesday.
The regional emergency situations department said the gas did not pose a serious threat to people's health. However, local residents have been urged not to go outside and to shut the windows since the cloud is drifting towards Tula.

I find this very hard to believe.
How can nitrogen oxides affect my health?
Low levels of nitrogen oxides in the air can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, possibly causing you to cough and experience shortness of breath, tiredness, and nausea. Exposure to low levels can also result in fluid build-up in the lungs 1 or 2 days after exposure. Breathing high levels of nitrogen oxides can cause rapid burning, spasms, and swelling of tissues in the throat and upper respiratory tract, reduced oxygenation of body tissues, a build-up of fluid in your lungs, and death.
