The two girls who were killed, aged 3 and 4-years-old, were taking shelter with their family in a tent when a tree fell on top of them. They suffered traumatic brain injuries that proved fatal.
Russia has experienced unusual weather this summer, including temperature drops in Russia's eastern Ural region that resulted in rarely seen July snowfall on Saturday.
