A woman and five children were killed in two separate house fire incidents in Punjab.
According to details, a mother and her two young daughters died in a fire in Arifwala, Pakpattan District. The woman was cooking on a stove with a gas cylinder at home when it suddenly caught fire.
The police said the fire was caused by a gas leak, which quickly spread and engulfed a large part of the house.
They added that the mother and her two daughters lost their lives, while the father was seriously injured and immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, in Basira, Karor Lal Esan of Layyah District, three children died in a separate house fire. Rescue officials said the children, who were sleeping in a room, could not escape.
Their bodies were transferred to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital. The fire was reportedly caused by sparking from electrical wires.
