A citizen of the Russian Federation died in a fire in a hostel in Almaty – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

“One of those found is a citizen of Uzbekistan, another is a citizen of the Russian Federation (Sakha Republic), the rest are Kazakhs,” Dosayev said (cited by TASS).

Let us remember that a three-story residential building caught fire last night. When firefighters arrived at the scene, the basement, converted into a shelter, was on fire.

The city’s Department of Emergency Situations reported that the bodies of 13 people were found, all of them died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
