Police in Pakistan say at least 22 women and children have been killed and more than 30 injured after a fire broke out in a tent at a wedding party. They say the deaths occurred at a village in eastern Pakistan, about 120 kilometres from the city of Multan, when a wall collapsed after the blaze triggered a stampede. The fire was caused by a high-powered electric light in the large canvas tent where the guests were celebrating. The bride was among those killed.
And doesn't that ruin the festivities?
The male wedding guests were in a separate tent that was not damaged. |
