A fire guts a beach resort in southeastern Bangladesh, killing 10 people and injuring several others. Bangladesh Fire Service officials confirm the death toll rises to 10, with reports also citing nine injured, after the blaze breaks out near Patuartek Beach along Marine Drive and quickly spreads through the property.
Multiple outlets describe the resort as a popular destination for local holidaymakers in the Cox’s Bazar area. NDTV and other reports say children are among those who die. The accounts vary slightly on the number of injured—some cite four injuries while others cite nine—while agreeing on the core details of location, severity, and that the fire spreads rapidly through a multi-storey wooden structure.
