Possibly they could be blurry because running, but have a look at the person by the tire. They are blurred, but the shadow is really well defined. If the person was moving so fast they blurred, then their shadow should be fuzzy on the edges, too. It could be a parking lot light, but those are generally orange/yellow in photos because they are sodium vapor lights, not white light. But all this being said, the fire should still be so much brighter than the rest of the scene.

Oh wow, I would have never thought twice about any of these things! Thank for taking the time to explain it all and providing great tools to help us to understand the propaganda a bit better.

My guess is a LED floodlight, it's the right color for that. I do take the point about the fire not being bright enough, and the people being more blurred than their shadows. For me it's not 100% yet, it's sus, but there might be an explanation I haven't seen yet that is sufficiently satisfying. (The shadow edges are still a little blurred too, after all, and the contrast there is higher so perhaps that helps make them more distinct than the lower-contrast humans, bearing in mind this appears to be taken in low-light, so longer exposure, and you can see the graininess as well - digital sensors don't do so well in low light situations.)
