Russia has dismissed claims of an emergency at a high-security plague laboratory, stating that no unusual incidents were detected during an inspection. The statement follows reports suggesting potential safety concerns or irregularities at the facility, which handles dangerous pathogens. Authorities insist routine protocols were followed, though details about the investigation remain limited. The discrepancy between reports and official denials raises questions about transparency in biosecurity measures.
