A fire at a textile factory in Foshan, a city in southern China, kills eight people. The blaze breaks out in a two-storey building within an industrial park and is extinguished in about an hour, according to reporting cited by multiple outlets.
Reuters and other accounts describe thick smoke rising from the site, based on a video verified by Reuters. In that footage, a building slightly taller than the one where the fire starts appears to be unaffected. Other details reported focus on the location within the industrial park and the overall duration of the firefighting response, without adding conflicting accounts about the immediate cause.
Overall, outlets agree on the location, the textile factory setting, the death toll, and that the fire is brought under control relatively quickly, while differing in emphasis between on-the-ground visual evidence and broader incident logistics.
