A scientific institute caught on fire. It was developing weapons systems. It was in Russia.

For anyone else like me who had difficulty parsing the headline.

Not the first time this week an article written in that archaic newsspeak style confused the shit out of me. "Journalist shot in 2020 protests dying from injuries."

So, are they protesting the idea of dying of injuries? Are they dying of injuries incurred in the protests from back then? A simple "is" would have clarified everything but can't have articles in our article headers!

couple of commas, even if used incorrectly, would have helped me a lot.

Before getting excited, more confirmation is needed. According to Astra sources, the building was no longer owned by the Platan Research Institute.

It also became known that the burning building has nothing to do with the Platan Research Institute; it became private property in the 90s, Ruselectronics said.

Thank you for the extra info. I'll edit the title since it isn't confirmed.
