In a catastrophic incident, five children died and four others sustained serious injuries after falling from a bouncy castle that was blown into the air in Australia.

The accident was caused by a wind gust that occurred on Thursday at a primary school fun day in Devonport, Tasmania.

Police said the children had fallen from 10m (32ft), with two boys and two girls among the victims.

The children were in grade six aged between 6 to 10 years old. A fifth child died later in hospital.

Police is conducting the inquiry into the matter, officials told local media.
