Bangladesh building fire kills at least 43, injures dozens
(Reuters) – A massive fire that raced through a six-storey building overnight in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka has killed at least 43 people and injured dozens, the country’s health minister said.
The fire originated in a popular biryani restaurant in Dhaka’s Bailey Road late on Thursday and quickly spread to other floors, fire service officials said.
At least 43 people have died and 22 others are being treated at hospitals with burn wounds, Health Minister Samanta Lal Sen told reporters on early on Friday after visiting the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
