In the Kurgan region three people were killed and six hospitalized due to fire.
Tyumen region reported one death and two injuries.
“The president promised support — we won’t abandon anyone,” Kurgan region Governor Vadim Shumkov.
The Victory Parade of Kurgan region has been called off due to intensity of the fires.
