Moscow storm death toll climbs to 16

Train services around the region were disrupted and dozens of flights from Moscow's airports delayed.

The death toll from a powerful thunderstorm in Moscow and its suburbs has reached 16 as dozens still remain in hospital.

The Investigative Committee said 11 people in Moscow and five others in the suburbs were killed as high winds and rain ripped through the Russian capital on Monday, felling trees, tearing off roofs and damaging over 2,000 cars.
