The incident comes amid other reports of accidents involving hot water leaks in Russia.

In September, a nine-year-old girl fell into a pit filled with boiling water while walking in Arkhangelsk. The pit had formed near a residential building following a hot water leak. Law enforcement authorities launched an investigation.

Earlier, a hot water pipe burst on Ryabinovaya Street in western Moscow, flooding the road with boiling water and affecting cars parked near a residential building.
