A trolleybus partially fell into a pit formed by the rupture of a steam pipe in central Moscow, the Interfax news agency reported Thursday.
“No one was injured. Only the trolleybus fell into the ravine,” deputy mayor for housing and public works Peter Biryukov said, Interfax reported.
The ruptured pipe occurred at the intersection between Serafimovicha Ulitsa and Sofia Naberezhnaya on Thursday evening, Interfax reported. The trolleybus has to be towed out of the ravine, but suffered no damages.
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.
