At Least 25 Die in Office Tower Fire in Dhaka, Bangladesh

A #Fire broke out on Thursday in a large office tower in #Dhaka, the capital of #Bangladesh, killing at least 25 people and injuring several dozen others, officials said. Videos circulating on social media showed large flames burning through the 24-story building, F.R. Tower. On the ground, witnesses said several people had fallen while trying to descend using cables along the periphery of the building.

Officer Khurshid Anwar of the Bangladesh Fire Service said that 21 firefighting units had been dispatched to douse the blaze, which was brought under control late Thursday afternoon. Of the 25 people who died, he said, 19 were found inside the building in the evening. Among the dead was a Sri Lankan citizen. At least 70 others were injured, and he warned that the death toll could increase. The cause of the fire was still unknown as of Thursday evening.
