Thousands of Bulgarians spent a freezing night without central heating, and some companies and schools did not operate yesterday after Russian gas supplies were halted to Southeastern Europe. About 12,000 households in Bulgaria's third-largest city of Varna, on the Black Sea, and 3,800 in the northeastern town of Razgrad have been left in the cold because utilities need time to switch to alternative fuels, municipal officials said.
