Thirteen people have died including three children and three adults who jumped from a burning apartment block after a Russian military jet crashed next to the building and set it on fire.
A Sukhoi 34 fighter-bomber taking off from an airfield in the southern Russian city of Yeysk, near the border with Ukraine, on Monday evening plunged from the sky moments later with one engine on fire - slamming into the ground in front of an apartment block and dousing the building in burning fuel.
Firefighters who spent the night dousing the flames said early on Tuesday that 13 people had been killed in the blaze with another 68 rescued from the block, 19 of whom required treatment for various injuries.
