Children dead after Russian school collapse
A school building in Belyayevka, Russia partially collapsed, killing five children inside.
An entire section of the two-storey building housing the school in Belyayevka, 120 km (75 miles) from the regional capital Orenburg in the southeastern Urals, came crashing down, spreading debris over a wide area.
Local people rushed to help firemen and police trying to rescue children from the rubble, and emergency workers sent from Orenburg brought in a crane to help remove the piles of debris.
“Eleven children have been taken out of the rubble, five of them are dead, four are injured and 800 people were evacuated,” an Emergencies Ministry spokeswoman in Orenburg said. The death toll was not expected to rise, she added.
