Cox's Bazar. A fire at a beach resort on a popular bathing beach in Bangladesh has killed at least ten tourists, according to authorities. Among the dead is a five-year-old boy, according to a fire department spokesperson. Six people were taken to hospitals with injuries — several victims have not yet been identified.
The fire broke out on Friday evening (local time) at the complex near the beach in Cox's Bazar. The fire department was deployed for around two hours, according to reports, before the flames were brought under control. The exact cause of the fire is still unclear.
What is known so far
According to the fire department spokesperson, not all of the dead could be conclusively identified. The six injured have been admitted to surrounding hospitals, agencies report, including on stern.de.
Authorities Cite Severe Fire Safety Deficiencies
Within hours of the fire, an authority voiced sharp criticism of the hotel complex. It cited 'deficient' fire safety precautions — and that the complex had been built without authorization. This brings to the fore the question of how tourist accommodations in the region are monitored.
