( AP ) - A fire at a nursing home in Russia has killed at least 23 people, an emergency official said Monday.

The blaze broke out Sunday in the Tula region south of Moscow, Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman Viktor Beltsov said.

Fire inspectors had asked courts to order the nursing home closed because of fire safety violations, including the lack of an alarm system, Beltsov said.
