Photos show the scale of a huge shopping mall fire that killed 56 people in Russia
However, many people did not make it out. The death toll on Monday morning was 56, but the figure could still rise. People were filmed jumping out of the windows of the still-burning building.
Officials cited by the state-owned Tass news agency said 12 people were hospitalised, while 36 more people needed less serious medical treatment at the scene.
The main blaze had been extinguished by Monday morning, but the building was still smouldering.
Russian investigators have opened a criminal investigation into the fire.
