Russia's New Year's Eve celebrations go up in flames as giant Christmas tree catches fire in town square
New Year's Eve celebrations went badly wrong in Russia tonight when a giant Christmas tree caught fire in front of thousands of revellers.
The 80ft illuminated tree in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk turned into a blazing inferno and was destroyed in minutes.
Onlookers watched in horror as the devastating fire took hold in Lenin Square, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin Island, Russia.
New Year revellers were warned to keep clear while Soviet-era music continued to blare from the festive concert.
There were no reports of injuries. Source
