Nine people were killed in central Russia after strong winds toppled trees and heavy rains disrupted the electricity supply in hundreds of settlements, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said on Sunday.

Seven of the nine were killed and 27 more injured at a camping location near Lake Yalchik in the Mari-El region, the ministry said.

Pictures posted by the ministry on the Telegram app showed cars and tents badly damaged and crushed by fallen trees.

Storms disrupted the power supply in 520 settlements, damaged the roofs of 41 residential buildings and seven buildings that provide social services in eight different Russian regions, officials said.

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump cast his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday, saying his latest presidential campaign was the best yet.

“I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one. We did much better in the second one but something happened. I would say this is the best campaign we’ve run,” he said, standing next to his wife, Melania Trump.

“It seems that the conservatives are voting very powerfully,” Trump told reporters. “It looks like Republicans have shown up in force.”

Asked if he had any regrets about his campaign, Trump responded, “I can’t think of any.”

“If it’s a fair election, I’d be the first one to acknowledge,” the results, Trump said.

He said that he had no plans to tell his supporters to refrain from violence should he lose.

“I don’t have to tell them,” because they “are not violent people,” he said.

Trump planned to visit a nearby campaign office to thank those working on his behalf.

He added he will have “a very special group of people” at Mar-a-Lago and a few thousand people at a nearby convention center to watch the election results.

“It looks like we have a very substantial lead,” he said without elaborating on whether he has a plan on when to declare victory.
