Ten people were killed in central Russia after strong winds toppled trees and heavy rains disrupted the electricity supply, the country’s ministry of emergency situations said on Sunday.
Eight of those killed were at a camping location near Lake Yalchik in the southwest of the country. There were 29 people injured in the same location.
A criminal case into the incident, which killed three children, has been opened, Russia’s investigative committee said.
