Two children were killed on Sunday morning after a rock crushed a cottage located in Isola village in southeastern France, local media reported. The two victims, aged seven and 10 years old respectively, were found under the rubble by rescue teams while five adults were unharmed, the local broadcaster Europe1 said. "Early this morning, north of Isola, a large rock of tens of cubic meters fell on the road and slammed into the three-storey cottage which stood at roadside," colonel Gael Marchand, commander of gendarmerie group of Alpes-Maritimes, was quoted as saying. A total of 60 firefighters were deployed to carry out rescue operation, according to the report. Earlier this month, a rock slide had derailed a tourist train in les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in southern France, killing two people and injuring several others.
