At least five people were killed in a fire at a flower warehouse in a busy part of Moscow on Sunday evening.

Another person was still missing, the state news agency Tass reported, citing the civil defence authorities.

Seven workers were brought to safety from the flames.

Initial investigations indicated that the blaze broke out in the afternoon due to a defect in the flower warehouse's electrical heating system. The fire was extinguished by the evening.
