Baby boy found alive in rubble of Russian apartment explosion

Moscow, Russia (CNN)A baby boy was plucked alive Tuesday from the rubble of an apartment building leveled a day earlier by a suspected gas explosion in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk.

Dramatic footage released by Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry showed rescue workers pulling away debris to reveal the child — described as “less than a year old.”
The boy, covered in dust and wearing a top and pink socks, is wrapped in a blanket before being taken to a medical facility. His condition is “serious,” the ministry said in a statement. At least eight people were killed after the explosion ripped through the apartment block.
