At least 26 people have died after a fire tore through an office building in northern China, the BBC reports.
The fire at the four-storey building in Luliang City, Shanxi province broke out at around 07:00 local time on Thursday (23:00 GMT Wednesday).
Of the dozens evacuated from the Yongju Coal Industry Joint Building, 63 people were taken to hospital.
Rescue operations are ongoing even as the fire is under control, according to state media.
Video posted on Chinese social media platform Weibo by the state-run Beijing Youth Daily showed flames and thick smoke coming out of the building.
The blaze broke out in a province that is the country’s largest producer of coal.
