MOSCOW (AP) — Russian news reports say at least 10 people have been killed in a warehouse fire in a Siberian village and that the dead are believed to be workers from China and Kyrgyzstan.
The fire broke out Thursday morning at a shoe manufacturing company in the village of Chernoretsky, about 2,800 kilometers (1,800 miles) east of Moscow.
A statement from the Emergencies Ministry says there were fatalities but did not give details. News reports, however, are citing local sources as saying at least 10 bodies have been found.
