Ten people have been killed in two separate fires in Russia, one near Moscow and the other in the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok.
Six people were killed and two others were injured in a fire that broke out at a construction site outside Moscow early on Sunday, the local emergency services said.
The fire in the Moscow Region’s Krasnogorsky District was reported soon after 3 am Moscow time (23:00 GMT, Saturday). It took firefighters an hour and a half to put out the blaze, which engulfed makeshift barracks where construction workers lived.
The other fire, which broke out in a residential house in Vladivostok late on Saturday, killed four people, the emergency services in the Primorye Territory said.
Firefighters managed to put out the fire only three hours after it had been reported. Three people were rescued from the burning house.
The causes of both fires have yet to be identified.
