Reports circulating on a Telegram channel describe a series of fire incidents in the Moscow region, all tied to unsuccessful repairs on vehicles. The account notes that five cars were destroyed by flames following a failed electrical repair, highlighting the dangers of DIY car fixes near parked vehicles.
