Fire at coal mining company offices kills 25 people in China
At least 25 people have died in a fire at the offices of a coal mine company in northern China. The fire broke out on Thursday morning at the Yongju Coal Industry Joint Building in the country’s top coal-producing hub of Shanxi province.
The blaze appeared to have started in the four-storey building with offices and dormitories in Luliang city, and not where coal was being mined. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
