Huge explosion erupts at Moscow substation VIDEO

Fire rages in the Russian region of Zhukovsky, Moscow, where a transformer substation is set ablaze.

Video footage has been circulating online of a transformer substation ablaze.

The past few weeks have seen many random fire outbreaks in different parts of Russia.

A transformer substation converts bulk electrical power into local power grids, and it is currently unknown if the fire was an accident or not.

The Russian media who confirmed the blaze have not indicated the cause of the fire.

The footage shows, a thick, dense cloud of black smoke engulfing the electrical substation.

Through the heavy black smoke, red and orange spiking flames can be seen burning.

There were no fire services on the ground at the time of filming to put out the flames as they raged on.

The fire appears to be contained to the transformer substation, and cars appear to carry on driving past the destruction unfazed.

Kyiv resident Anders Östlund wrote sarcastically on Twitter: "Russia continues to be hit by random accidents."
