Moscow, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Dec, 2018 ) :Six children and four adults died in house fires in several Russian cities on Sunday, Russian media reported.
Three toddlers died in a house fire in a village in Bashkortostan, a region south of the Ural mountains, news agency RIA Novosti reported.
The children, a two-year-old and two four-year-olds, were reportedly left home alone, the agency said.
Interfax news agency said two more children died in a house fire on Sunday in the village of Krasny Kut, in the southern Saratov region.
And the Emergency Situations Ministry in Tatarstan, a republic in central Russia, said a toddler and two adults were killed in a house fire on Sunday in Kazan, the main city.
Another two adults died and three children were injured on Sunday when a dormitory caught fire in Peresvet, a town in the Moscow region, RIA Novosti said.
Fire safety rules are often violated in Russia as a result of corruption, with officials often granting building permits in exchange for bribes.
In March, 64 people died -- 41 of them children -- when a shopping centre caught fire in the Siberian city Kemerovo.
Following the tragedy, local prosecutors were ordered to check safety regulations at shoppingmalls and other cultural and entertainment sites across Russia.
