Azerbaijan: three dead in avalanche
Three people have been killed in an avalanche caused by unusually heavy snowfalls in southern Azerbaijan. The state emergency commission said all three were residents of a mountain village in the Astara region. It said the snow both in Astara and Lenkoran region, near the Iranian border, had reached a depth of one meter. Power lines had been destroyed, and roads to the Azeri capital, Baku, were blocked.
