Maldives fire accident: 9 Indians among 10 killed
At least 10 people, including nine Indians, were killed and several others injured Thursday when a fire swept through their cramped lodgings in the Maldives capital Male, the fire service said. The capital of the archipelago best known as an upmarket holiday destination is one of the world's most densely populated cities. Officials said 10 bodies were recovered from the upper floor of a building destroyed in the fire, which originated from a ground-floor vehicle repair garage.
