The death toll in a recent nightclub fire in Russia's Urals climbed to 119 on Tuesday following the death of another person in hospital, a local medic said.
However, the regional emergencies service has yet to confirm the report.
"At this stage we are not in a position to either confirm or deny this information," said Valery Tiunov, spokesman for the Perm emergency services.
The fire engulfed the Lame Horse nightclub in the west Urals city of Perm in the early hours of Saturday after an indoor fireworks display went wrong. Three nightclub managers and the Pirotsvet pyrotechnic company director will face criminal charges.
Russia observed a national day of mourning on Monday for the victims of the nightclub fire. Flags were flying at half-mast and memorial services were being held.
