Reports of bubonic plague outbreak in Russia
Original: russian plague outbreak bubonic plague
Claims of a bubonic plague outbreak in Russia are circulating widely. The Economist has reported speculation that the plague may have escaped from a laboratory in Siberia, a suggestion that has intensified concern. Details about confirmed cases, affected regions, or official responses from Russian health authorities remain limited, and the extent of any actual outbreak is not yet established.
Why now: Concerns over a possible plague outbreak and lab-escape allegations in Russia are drawing wide attention.
