Report: Five Injured in Moscow Apartment Fires

Five people were reported injured Sunday as fires broke out in 15 apartments across 11 different apartment buildings in Moscow's Presnensky District due to a sharp rise in gas pressure, according to Interfax.

More than 400 people have been evacuated and gas supplies have been shut off to 26 buildings in the district. Gas supplies were expected to be restored later Sunday evening.
