Nightclub fire kills 25 in Goa, India, officials say | BBC News
A fire at a popular nightclub in the coastal region of Goa in India has killed 25 people, according to local officials.
Most of the victims are believed to be staff at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, located near a popular beach. Tourists are also said to be among the dead.
Police believe a gas cylinder exploded in the club’s kitchen, causing a blaze to rip through the venue on Saturday at midnight local time.
Most of the bodies were found near the kitchen “suggesting that the victims were employed at the club”, said Alok Kumar, Goa’s Director General of Police.
Goa’s chief minister Pramod Sawant said “three to four” tourists had died but did not provide their ages or nationalities.

In the Occupied West Bank, the isolated Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir has seen more Israeli settler outposts appearing around it in recent years.
These outposts are illegal under both Israeli and international law. BBC Correspondent Lucy Williamson spent a week there, talking to Palestinians about the attacks by Israeli settlers.
Many Palestinians in the West Bank say that Israeli soldiers support settlers during these attacks.

There is a state of emergency in Ecuador – the latest in a series – as the country battles local drug gangs with links to international cartels. Once one of South America’s most peaceful corners, Ecuador now has a murder rate that is one of the highest in the world.
The country has become the gateway for about 70% of the cocaine reaching the US and Europe – including the UK. The drug floods in from neighbouring Colombia and Peru, the two biggest cocaine producers in the world.
The BBC’s Orla Guerin has been at the heart of the war on drugs in Duran, one of the most gang-controlled cities in Ecuador.

Iran and the US appear to be returning to all-out war, after 10 nights of escalating US airstrikes, and growing Iranian reprisals.
The Pentagon has confirmed that almost 100 US service personnel have been injured in the conflict in the past fortnight, while three US soldiers have been killed.
Iran’s revolutionary guards have targeted US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain and carried out more attacks on tankers in the strait of Hormuz. Commercial shipping through the key shipping lane has again come to a standstill, putting further pressure on global energy supplies.
Yemen’s Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, further threatening transit of oil and natural gas.
