A man died after a domestic gas explosion blew him through the window of his seventh-floor apartment on Sunday night.
The explosion in the 12-story apartment block on 7 Nagornaya Ulitsa shattered the apartment's windows and damaged two internal walls, Interfax reported.
The blast caused no fire, but the building's tenants all had to be evacuated.
No serious structural damage to the building was reported, the Emergency Situations Ministry said.
A similar incident took place on April 19 in the north-east of Moscow when a domestic gas explosion on Shirokaya Ulitsa damaged two apartments on the sixth and seventh floors of a 6-story residential building.
Three people were killed in the fire and four were injured.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
