“Two of the victims sought medical help. Their lives are not in danger. One of them was assisted on the spot,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
The fire was believed to have been caused by a short circuit resulting from an improperly installed lighting system on the facade of the building, TASS news agency cited firefighters as saying.
