STORYLINE:
Russian commandos stormed a school in southern Russia where hundreds of hostages had been held for three days.
Dozens of hostages fled the building, some bloodied and screaming, and reports said some of the
militants had escaped.
Hundreds of wounded hostages - most of them children - were rushed to hospitals.
Five hostage-takers were killed but 13 others escaped, the ITAR-Tass news agency said.
Troops were pursuing the militants, some of whom were said to be holed up in a house in the area.
Tank fire could be heard in the surrounding area.
The scene around the school was chaotic: people running through the streets, columns of smoke overhead and the wounded carried off on stretchers.
Women escaping the building were seen fainting and others, some covered in blood, were carried away on stretchers.
Many children were only partly clothed because of the stifling heat in the gymnasium where they had been
held since the militants took the building Wednesday.
But gunfire rang out some two hours after the raid.
