School in the district of Bujumbura on September 30, 2013Bujumbura (Burundi) (AFP) - Lightning in Burundi killed seven high school students and wounded 51 others when it struck a classroom where they were sheltering from a ferocious storm, officials said Saturday. "This was an exceptional disaster that hit not only our town, but also other areas of the country, when we should be in the dry season," said Prudence Kabura, a local government official in Nyanza-Lac, some 150 kilometres (90 miles) south of the capital Bujumbura, of the storm on Friday. The tragedy follows a series of fatal lightning strikes in recent days. Last week lightning killed four people and wounded nine others as they sheltered inside a small church in eastern Burundi, local official Egide Ndikuriyo said.
