Photos circulating online show scorched products that appear to have survived the fire before being packaged and delivered.

Cat Caught Smuggling Drugs Into Russian Prison
Prison staff in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region intercepted an unusual suspected drug courier: a cat wearing a homemade collar containing two packages.
One package held a green substance, while the other contained white powder. Staff called in a dog handler and a sniffer dog named Foxy, which detected the scent of narcotics. Laboratory testing later confirmed that the packages contained illegal drugs.
The collar was confiscated, but after being examined, the cat was released without charge.
Remarkably, a similar smuggling attempt involving another cat was stopped at a prison in the same region around a year earlier.
The courier walked free. The collar did not.
Norwegian Reindeer Cross Into Russia Through Hole in Border Fence
Around 30 Norwegian reindeer reportedly crossed into Russia through a damaged section of the border fence near the village of Nikel in Murmansk Oblast.
The animals’ owners have been unable to retrieve them because they cannot obtain Russian visas amid strained relations between the two countries. Reindeer owner Egil Kalliainen says the herd is now effectively considered lost and has urged authorities to repair the fence.
This is not the first time Norwegian reindeer have wandered across the border. A previous incident reportedly cost Norway 47 million kroner, approximately $4.5 million, in compensation for damage caused inside Russia.
For now, Santa’s workforce appears to have changed countries without completing the paperwork.
