A fire at a hospital in Islamabad kills at least 14 infants, according to local media reports cited by multiple outlets. The deaths occur in an affected ward where equipment is left damaged after the blaze.
Reports across sources describe the incident as being linked to a fault in the hospital’s air-conditioning system. The Hindu, Jerusalem Post and World News all state that a problem with the air conditioning is the alleged trigger, based on information reported locally. Other coverage also describes the immediate aftermath, including the presence of smoke and a blackened, gutted ward.
While the outlets focus on the same reported death toll and a suspected air-conditioning fault, they vary slightly in how they characterize the scene and what details are emphasized. One outlet relies on television footage to describe the damaged ward and continuing smoke, while others foreground the reported cause and number of victims. None of the sources in the provided set offers additional confirmation beyond the local reporting.
