Baby pulled alive from Russia gas blast ruins

MOSCOW— Russian rescuers on Tuesday pulled a baby boy hurt but alive from the ruins of an apartment building where he spent the night in subzero temperatures after a gas explosion that killed at least nine people. Authorities identified the 10month-old boy as Ivan Fokine, and said he had been reunited in hospital with his mother, who also survived the ordeal. “A New Year’s miracle has occurred!” Russia’s emergencies ministry said in a statement that named the young survivor of Monday’s tragedy in the industrial city of Magnitogorsk, nearly 1,700 kilometers east of Moscow in the Ural mountains.
