BG3 meets Fire Emblem in a Brand-New Steam RPG

A major outage across Russia, primarily in Moscow and St. Petersburg, left various services and websites inaccessible, including Discord, Steam, and Telegram. Downdetector reported issues with internet providers Lovit, Rostelecom, MegaFon, Beeline, and the domain registrar Reg.ru. The power outage, caused by disruptions at a major communications hub, affected Runet, the Russian segment of the internet.

Witnesses reported a fire at a facility on Vavilova Street, leading to evacuations in Gagarinsky mall and several Moscow districts. An explosion was also heard near the Vavilova Street scene, with fire crews and ambulances responding. The outage originated from a power failure at the MMTS-9 telecommunications hub on Butlerova Street, a historic site housing key network infrastructure.

SecurityLab confirmed that hosting providers had isolated their server racks at the location, which houses the country's core network infrastructure and the MSK-IX internet exchange point.
