Five people have been killed and another 29 injured in a fire at an education institute in southeastern Moscow on Tuesday, a spokesman for the city's fire-fighting service said.
The fire has engulfed the fourth and fifth floors of a five-storey building at the Institute of State and Corporate Management, the spokesman said.
The toll could rise as fire crews struggled to put out the blaze, the ministry of emergency situations said.
Local television showed fire trucks and ambulances arriving at the scene and rescue workers sending the injured to hospital.
