At least 25 people, including tourists, died in a fire at a popular nightclub in the Indian state of Goa
Most of the dead are kitchen staff of the club, as well as three to four tourists. Six people were injured and are in stable condition. The fire was caused by a gas cylinder explosion. All bodies have been found.
It is reported that at least 100 people were on the club's dance floor when the fire broke out, and several of them ran to the kitchen downstairs in the chaos and were trapped along with the staff.
The nightclub, located along the floodplains of the Arpora River, had a narrow entrance and exit, forcing fire crews to park their tankers approximately 400 meters away. Limited access delayed firefighting.
