A fire tears through a hotel in India, killing nine people and injuring several others, according to reports from multiple outlets. Officials and emergency responders work at the scene as the blaze destroys or damages parts of the building.
The Independent reports that the victims include a girl and four additional people, bringing the death toll to nine. Another outlet similarly says nine people die and that several are injured. While both accounts align on the number of deaths and the fact that multiple people are hurt, they provide limited additional detail about the cause of the fire, the time it started, or the scale of damage beyond describing the hotel as engulfed by flames.
Further reporting details such as the investigation into how the fire began, whether all guests and staff are accounted for, and which areas of the hotel were affected are not included in the provided excerpts.
