President Vladimir Putin arrived at the site of a collapsed residential building, which killed at least four people and injured several others in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk on Monday. Dozens are still unaccounted for. Russia's emergencies ministry told news agencies the explosion could have been caused by a gas leak. The blast rocked the apartment complex at around 4 a.m. local time, completely collapsing one of its sections. Local officials said four survivors, including a child, were rescued from the rubble and taken to a hospital. Media outlets in the city, located 1,700 km (1,050 miles) east of Moscow in the southern Urals, said it was unclear how many people were trapped in the debris, but cries for help could be heard from beneath the rubble. Citing the emergencies ministry, RIA news agency said 110 people lived in the building, and 48 apartments had been damaged. Just 52 people out of the 120 people who lived in the collapsed block had been accounted for, Russian news agency TASS reported on Monday, quoting regional Gov. Boris Dubrovsky.
