MOSCOW—Nine coronavirus patients died in a Russian hospital in the southern city of Vladikavkaz after an oxygen pipe burst underground, cutting supply to an intensive care ward, Russian news agencies reported on Monday.

“Nine patients with coronavirus died due to a lack of oxygen,” the TASS news agency cited the local health ministry as saying.
