Trideset i sedam osoba poginulo je u požaru u noći na petak u psihijatrijskog bolnici, drvenoj zgradi koja je u potpunosti izgorila na sjeverozapadu Rusije, priopćio je ruski istražni odbor za oblast Novgoroda na svojoj internetskoj stranici.
Među poginulima je i 46-godišnja medicinska sestra koja je spašavala pacijente kada je izbio požar. Dosad je izvučeno deset tijela.
Po preliminarnim podacima, uzrok požara je neoprezno rukovanje vatrom jednog od pacijenata.
Zgrada se nalazila izvan Velikog Novgoroda, oko 220 kilometara jugoistočno od Sankt Peterburga, a za godinu dana je trebala biti zatvorena "zbog niske sigurnosti u slučaju mogućeg požara".
