Fire in Bangladesh hotel complex kills at least ten tourists

A fire broke out on Saturday morning in a hotel complex in Cox's Bazar, a popular tourist district in southeastern Bangladesh. The blaze killed at least ten tourists, including a five-year-old boy, and injured six others. Firefighters took nearly two hours to extinguish the fire, which destroyed the entire building. The cause is unknown, but authorities said the hotel had inadequate fire safety and was built without a permit. An investigation is underway. Cox's Bazar attracts over three million visitors annually, mostly domestic tourists.
