At least 6 people died and 40 were injured after a hailstorm caused a roof to collapse on a costume party in central Peru, authorities said.

Around 1 000 people were in the building at the time of the accident on Sunday, according to local media.
Some are still trapped in the rubble and five of the injured are in a serious condition, police said.
The incident occurred during a local festival taking place in a building in Huancayo, some 200 kilometers east of the capital Lima.
“The structure collapsed because of intense rain and hail”, - said police.
