Today at midday, a fire broke out in an Armenian church under construction in central Moscow.

Police say the fire broke out at a construction site located on Trifonovsk Street.

A short while ago, firefighting crews began to put out the fire. The over 25,000 square meter church is a monumental structure with the Armenian conventional cross-shape and has been under construction for the past couple of years.

The church will have supporting structures, a library, a lecture hall and an underground parking for 160 cars.

The reasons for the fire remain unclear.
