The World Health Organization is seeking further information regarding a reported second illness in Russia, following concerns over a potential plague outbreak. This comes amidst a broader "plague scare" in the region.
The United States has formally complained to Russia regarding its handling of a suspected death linked to a plague laboratory. The U.S. is reportedly escalating pressure on Russia concerning this death at a Siberian lab. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While the current plague situation may not be broadly alarming, some sources raise concerns about Russia's secretive bioweapons program. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
