A senior U.S. official has confirmed that the United States will provide assistance to Russia following an incident at a high-security plague research facility in Siberia, where a laboratory worker died. The announcement came during a briefing at the White House, where officials emphasized the need for international cooperation in handling potential biological threats. The move underscores growing concerns over safety protocols at such facilities, particularly amid rising tensions over biosecurity risks. Details on the nature of the assistance and the specific circumstances of the incident remain under review.
