The confirmed death toll from the disaster at Russia's largest hydroelectric plant rose to 64 on Saturday, with 11 people still listed as missing, a spokesman for the search and rescue team said, AFP reported.
"We have discovered 64 bodies," with 11 people still missing, said the spokesman from the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power plant in Siberia.
