One of Vladimir Putin's limousines has burst into flames after a large explosion along a Moscow street.
One of the vehicles from what is believed to be the Russian president's "official car fleet" was engulfed in flames near the Moscow headquarters of the FSB secret service.
It is believed that the fire started in the car's engine, but shortly after that, the interior of the Aurus limousine completely caught fire.
As black smoke covered the street, staff from surrounding restaurants rushed outside to try to help before emergency services descended on the scene.
From the filmed videos, it is clear that the rear of the car was severely damaged by the large fire.
It is not known who was behind the wheel of the car or what caused the explosion.
However, foreign media reports that Putin widely uses Russian-made cars and that he gives limousines as gifts to close people.
