Five children were killed and several more badly injured in Australia after strong winds lifted a bouncy castle into the air during end-of-year school celebrations, causing them to fall 10 metres.
Two boys and two girls in their final year of primary school died in the accident in Devonport, in the northwest of Tasmania state. One additional child died in hospital. Four more children were in hospital, three in critical condition, authorities said.
Tasmanian premier Peter Gutwein said "it is simply inconceivable that this shocking tragedy has occurred" and promised a thorough investigation.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the incident as "shattering and heartbreaking" and a "horrific tragedy."
