U.S. Asks Russia to Share More About Lab Death

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, America’s top diplomat, said Oct. 6, 2026, Moscow should share more about the death of 28-year-old Darya Shipilova of the Irkutsk plague lab, from suspected lung plague. Russia told the World Health Organization no plague cases were found in Irkutsk. Openness will shape outside trust.
