DHAKA, Dhu-AlHijjah 09, 1437, September 10, 2016, SPA -- A fire on Saturday at a food and cigarette packaging factory in Bangladesh killed at least 23 people and injured more than two dozen, emergency and government officials said, with fears the toll could rise, according to Reuters. The cause of the fire in the Tongi industrial zone about 20 km (12 miles) north of the capital, Dhaka, was not immediately known, but officials said a boiler explosion probably triggered the blaze, around 8 a.m., as workers prepared to swap shifts. "There were about 100 people inside when the fire broke out," Mohammad Nayan, a worker assisting with rescue efforts, told reporters. More than 20 firefighting teams battled to douse the flames, which also caused the partial collapse of the four-storey Tampaco Foils building, officials said. --SPA 13:47 LOCAL TIME 10:47 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
