Thunderstorm in Poland kills five, leaves many wounded

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki says at least four people died and more than 100 were injured in lightning strikes during a thunderstorm in Poland.

The worst bolt fell on a group of hikers at the summit of Giewont, a popular peak in the Tatra range in the south of the country.

A fifth person was killed in neighbouring Slovakia.

At least one of the victims was said to be a child.

The storm is said to have descended suddenly after a sunny morning.

There were also reports of casualties in different parts of the mountain range.
