Nah, You wouldn't know about it.

Putin blames Europe for the gas price crisis!

The rest of the story.

On the afternoon of 10 August, a large fire broke out at a gas station in Volgograd, Russia. Firefighters were called around 12:40 local time (8:40 UTC) to battle the blaze. The fire soon went out of control producing a large explosion. This explosion was accompanied by a shockwave which could be felt thousands of meters away. The shockwave knocked down firefighters and injured 13 people. Fortunately, all staff at the gas station were able to safely evacuate before the fire escalated. The explosion also caused a huge fireball which rose several hundred meters into the air. It took 70 firefighters and a firefighting robot to finally extinguish the fire.
