Nine people, who were injured in a fire...

"In the period of December 28-29, nine people injured in the Lame Horse fire were dismissed from hospitals in Moscow and St. Petersburg," the statement says.

The fire, the deadliest Russia has seen in half a century, began in the Lame Horse nightclub after an indoor firework display went wrong, causing the wicker-decorated ceiling to catch alight.

The death toll from the tragedy has risen steadily throughout the recent weeks, and currently stands at 152. Several dozens of injured still remain in hospitals. Some patients are in critical condition, suffering extensive burns and severe respiratory injuries.
