"Power Outages Plague Moscow as Winter Freeze Hits Russia"

A mechanical failure at a Russian ammunition plant has left tens of thousands of Muscovites without heat and water amid freezing temperatures, with more than a quarter of Moscow's cities affected by power outages. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the nationalization of the plant, and the Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case over safety requirements. Residents are resorting to gas stoves and fires to keep warm, and the situation has also affected other cities in Russia.
