“The video shows Israel’s Home Ministry building engulfed in flames after being destroyed by an Iranian missile”
What FACTLY found
The video shows a fire at the Yakkasaroy (VIP) restaurant, formerly known as Temurmalik, in Khujand, Tajikistan. The incident took place on 19 June 2025 and was caused by smouldering barbecue coals, according to local reports. The restaurant is located near the Sugdiyon Hotel on the left bank of the Syr Darya. Visuals from the viral video match photos of the location available on Google Maps. The incident has no connection to the current Israel–Iran conflict.
