The death of two more people in hospital on Monday brought the death toll from the Saturday's blaze to 113. Over 120 people are still being treated in hospital, with 28 of them in a critical condition, according to the Russian Health Ministry.
Russia observed a national day of mourning on Monday for the victims of the nightclub fire. Flags were flying at half-mast and memorial services were being held.
