The school burned down. According to the preliminary version, the fire started from the school kitchen. The flames spread so quickly that a mass of children did not have time to leave the premises. The upper floor, where the youngest children studied, burned out instantly. A terrible crush occurred in the corridors. Many children suffocated even before the fire reached them. About eighty bodies have already been recovered from under the ruins. Several teachers who tried to save their students died. Currently, the streets around the school are filled with relatives of the deceased. In total, there were more than nine hundred children in the school during the fire.
