A fire at a petrol station in the southern Russian region of Dagestan has killed at least 30 people including three children, Russia’s emergency services ministry said on Tuesday.
The fire started at a car repair shop on the roadside of a main road in the Dagestani capital Makhachkala and caused explosions as it spread to the nearby filling station, officials said. “It’s like a war here,” a witness said.
