PHILADELPHIA (CNN) -- Thirteen children and one adult died Sunday after three tourist boats capsized during a storm in northwest Russia, officials said.
The three boats were carrying 47 children and four adults taking part in a camping trip when the boats capsized in a lake in the republic of Karelia, Russia's Investigative Committee said.
The committee has launched a criminal investigation. One instructor has been arrested, but it's not immediately clear what charges the instructor might face.
