## Key points

- About 800 carcasses were reportedly burned near villages in Kolomna district.
- The reported site changed after residents objected.
- The district was under quarantine following a lumpy skin disease outbreak.

## Summary

Around 800 cow carcasses from a Moscow-region farm affected by lumpy skin disease were reportedly burned near villages in the Kolomna district. The reported change of location after residents objected, and uncertainty over where the burning took place, have raised local concerns about how the carcasses were disposed of.

Telegram channels said the carcasses were moved overnight on November 6 alongside hundreds of car tyres, with reports placing the burning near Nepetsino or less than two kilometres from Semyonovskoye. Baza deleted its report, while Msk1 also reported the burning; residents said local officials had assured them it would not happen in the district. A quarantine was imposed in Kolomna in late October after the outbreak at the Rusmilk farm.
