As rescuers continue to search the burned-out shopping mall in the city of Kemerovo, many have been frantically trying to reach their relatives, including children who were in the mall’s cinema or play area when the fire started.

At least 11 children are among the victims of the blaze, with the death toll now exceeding 30, according to sources in the emergency services, cited by Russian news agencies.

Some 69 people, including 40 children, were said to be missing after the fire in the shopping mall.

The fire, which broke out on Sunday afternoon, was finally contained some 12 hours later, after engulfing some 1,600 square meters. The building sustained severe damage, its roof and floors partially collapsing.

Some 43 people were injured in the blaze, according to the emergency services, and 37 remain hospitalized.
