No embassy staff and diplomats were injured in the fire that broke out at the Russian Embassy in Makati City late Friday, its Foreign Ministry said.
All embassy employees were safely evacuated, it added.
“On the evening of February 4, a severe fire broke out in the building of the Russian embassy in Manila. There are no victims or injured. Employees and members of their families who were in the embassy were evacuated,” the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
