No information on Russians among Chile quake victims.
SANTIAGO, February 28 (Itar-Tass) -- Chile's national emergencies
service is now drafting lists of victims of the Saturday devastating
earthquake in Chile, head of the Russian embassy's consular service Alexei
Skorodumov told Itar-Tass on Sunday.
"So far, there is nor information about Russian citizens because the
national emergencies service has not yet received lists of victims from
all localities," Skorodumov, who keeps contact with the emergencies
service, said. "The service's experts are now involved in rescue and
debris removal operations," he said, adding that more detailed information
might be available on Sunday morning, local time.
Skorodumov also said he had a telephone conversation with Russia's
honoured consul in the city of Valparaiso, who pledged no Russians were
among the quake victims in the city.
The Russian embassy building in Santiago was only slightly damaged by
the quake.
