Eight of the 10 were killed and 29 injured at a camping location near Lake Yalchik in the Mari-El region, the ministry said. Russia's Investigative Committee said it had opened a criminal case into the incident, which killed three children. Storms disrupted the power supply in 520 settlements and damaged the roofs of 41 residential buildings and seven buildings that provide social services in eight different Russian regions, officials said.
