At least 13 students killed in China school fire: State media

A fire has ripped through a dormitory in a boarding school in central China, killing 13 students, state media reported.

One student was injured in the blaze at Yingcai School in Henan province’s Yanshanpu village, the Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.

The victims were identified as third-grade elementary school students. A teacher told the state-run Hebei Daily that all of them were from the same class of nine and 10-year-olds.

Firefighters managed to swiftly extinguish the blaze, which was reported at 11 pm (15:00 GMT) on Friday and the head of the school was taken into custody while the authorities were investigating the cause.

The injured survivor was being treated in hospital and reported to be “in stable condition”, according to Xinhua.

China National Radio reported that some windows on the school’s dormitory building were smashed and published photos showing police cordoning off a nearby area.

Yanshanpu village lies on the outskirts of Nanyang, a city of nearly 10 million.

Little information about the boarding school is publicly available, though social media videos published earlier showed young children including kindergarteners wearing smocks with the school’s logo as well as older children learning calligraphy.
