"Body identification is over by now, the identities of 25 victims, who carried documents, have been conclusively established. Other bodies can not be identified at the moment," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper quoted a police source as saying.
"We also have body fragments which investigators hope the relatives might be able to identify. The remaining fragments would require a DNA test."
