Jumping castle tragedy 

Five children were killed and several more were seriously injured when a bouncy castle was blown into the air at an end of the school party in Australia on Thursday, police said.

The accident occurred at a primary school fun day in Devonport, Tasmania. 

"I can now sadly confirm that four children have died, four are in a critical condition and one in a serious condition," police from the island of Tasmania said.

Police said the children had fallen from a height of about 10m (32ft).

Paramedics arrived quickly at the scene and the children were given first aid before being flown in helicopters to the hospital.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the accident as "unthinkably heartbreaking."
