Avideo of a strange black ring of smoke hovering over the Russian capital has gone viral on social media, sparking a range of questions on Twitter.
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s minister of internal affairs, shared a clip on his Twitter page on Monday that has so far been viewed more than 2.2 million people. It shows the thick black ring over Moscow, which gradually gets fainter by the end of the clip.
Gersaschenko captioned the video: “Residents of Moscow publish videos of a black circle in the city’s sky. What do you think happened here?”
