It turns out that what you are seeing there is the spectacular failure of a Soyuz rocket launch intended to put a Russian military satellite into orbit. The rocket failed during its third stage and the satellite plummeted back to Earth impacting just outside the city of Novosibirsk.
There is a short news brief here.
This disaster comes just days after a Soyuz rocket delivered 3 people to the International Space Station.
