Relatives will head for Moscow on Monday to confirm the identification of the two Bulgarians, who died in a fire at a Moscow nightclub.

The tragedy occurred a day earlier in the premises of the Lenkom Theatre where Club market 911 is located.

The two Bulgarian casualties are aged 40 and 62 from the town of Plovdiv. Both were in Moscow to visit a friend of theirs, who works at the Centre for Production of Bulgaria in the Russian Federation. The younger victim died on spot from asphyxia.

There were other Bulgarians in the same place, but none of them was injured in the fire, spokesman of the Foreign Ministry Dimitar Tsanchev announced.

Another ten people died in the flames; four were rushed to hospital with respiratory poisoning. A total of 150 other people were immediately evacuated from the burning club.

Experts from the Moscow office of the Ministry of Emergency Situations have already started an investigation to find out what caused the fire. Initial data shows the flames erupted somewhere around the bar and immediately filled the whole club with smoke, killing those who were closest to the bar.
