update
- By Anna Rice
At least 64 people – most of them children – were killed by a fire, which started on the top floor of a busy shopping mall in the Siberian city of Kemerovo on March 25. Emergency services are still struggling to remove the bodies, even as locals dispute the official death toll. As VOA'S Anna Rice reports, some witnesses suggest the the number of dead is far higher than the media is reporting.
