At least 22 killed in wedding hall fire in DR Congo's capital
–
Neutral summary
A fire broke out during a wedding party in a banquet hall on the first floor of a commercial building on Boulevard Triomphal in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the night from Friday to Saturday, killing at least 22 people and injuring many others. The provisional death toll was announced on Saturday morning by Norbert Mushiga, the mayor of the Lingwala district, one of the city's 24 communes. The hall had only one narrow exit, which slowed evacuation and caused congestion, with bodies of the dead and injured laid by the roadside as attendees tried to help. The exact cause of the fire has not yet been confirmed, an investigation is underway, and authorities have launched mass inspections of venues following the tragedy.
