A water leak occurred during hydraulic tests on a pipeline on Yartsevskaya Street, leading to the flooding of streets with boiling water near the Molodezhnaya metro station in Moscow’s Kuntsevo district. Emergency services are working to address the situation.

Traffic is currently blocked near the Molodezhnaya metro station.

Eyewitnesses have shared footage showing streets almost completely flooded, with steam rising from the hot water.

Local residents reported difficulty leaving their homes due to the extensive flooding, and some vehicles were stranded in the courtyards, inaccessible to their owners.

MOEK has stated that the leak occurred during hydraulic tests aimed at identifying weak points in the network in preparation for the heating season. The water supply has been shut off, and a repair crew is working to fix the leak.
