Indonesia Fire Kills 11, Including Six Children
- At least 11 people, including six children aged two to nine, died in a fire in Paniai, Central Papua province, Indonesia, police reported.
- The fire broke out just after midnight and spread rapidly through a market and nearby shophouses, destroying at least 40 kiosks and houses over more than three hours.
- Firefighters struggled to contain the blaze due to the tightly packed arrangement of buildings and market stalls, making firefighting efforts difficult and prolonged.
- Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, which occurred amid a pattern of deadly fires in Indonesia, including a December blaze in Central Jakarta and a 2023 explosion at a nickel plant, both causing multiple fatalities.
