Two of the seven towers of the Kremlin in Russia's north-western town of Pskov have been seriously damaged by fire – 448 years to the day a fire destroyed the very same construction.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze within two hours and no casualties were reported.
All wooden constructions of the Vlasyevskaya tower were completely gutted while the Rybnitskaya tower suffered considerable roof damage.
An investigation committee has considered two options: arson or a wiring problem.
