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.
