A violent storm swept through Moscow area Monday, leaving 13 people dead and dozens injured as freak winds toppled hundreds of trees, officials said. "Due to storm winds hitting Moscow, 50 people have asked for medical attention up to now," a spokesperson for the City Hall's health department told AFP in a statement.
"Eleven were fatally injured," the statement said. Two more deaths were reported when the investigative committee of the Moscow region said that an 11-year-old girl and a 57-year-old man were killed, one by a falling tree and the other a flying fence.
