Several hundred people were safely evacuated early on Saturday from a subway train in eastern Moscow after smoke appeared in the tunnel, a spokesman for the Russian capital's emergency service said.
"Some 600 passengers were evacuated after smoke was reported in one of the train cars in the tunnel between the Semyonovskaya and Elektrozavodskaya stations," Yevgeny Bobylyov said, adding that no one was injured.
The smoke reportedly appeared because an electric cable caught fire, which has by now been extinguished.
