At least 24 children killed in school fire in DR Congo's Bukavu
–
Neutral summary
At least 24 children, most of them girls, died in a fire that engulfed two schools in Bukavu, a rebel-held city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Local officials said the children were killed in a stampede as they tried to flee the blaze, which broke out on the morning of September 10 while classes were in session. The fire also destroyed about 300 wooden homes in the densely populated Kadutu district; early reports put the death toll at 17, later figures rose to 24, and RT reported at least 26. Bukavu is controlled by the Rwanda-backed AFC/M23 rebel group, which seized the city in a lightning offensive last year, and the cause of the fire remains unknown.
