A Russian apartment block has collapsed following an explosion in Belgorod, as rescuers search the rubble for survivors.

At least 17 people have been injured in the Russian city near the border with Ukraine after an apartment block partially collapsed following an explosion.

Footage from broadcaster RU-24 showed rescuers searching for survivors among the remnants of the building’s stairwell, then fleeing the scene as part of the roof crashed to the ground.

Russia has blamed a Ukrainian shell for the incident.

While Ukraine has not commented, it has previously said its attacks do not target civilians.

To recap: San Francisco-based Synapse operated a service that allowed others (mainly fintechs) to embed banking services into their offerings. Until last year, for example, it was providing those types of services as an intermediary between banking partner Evolve Bank & Trust and business banking startup Mercury until Evolve and Mercury decided to work directly with each other and cut out Synapse as a middleman. Synapse threw a lot of blame at Evolve, as well as at Mercury, both of whom raised their hands and told TechCrunch they were not responsible.
