Vietnam Condominium Fire Kills at least 13 and Injured 27

A fire at a condominium complex in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City early Friday morning killed at least 13 people and injured another 27, police said. State media said most people died of suffocation or jumping from high floors.

It’s unclear whether anyone was missing, said the city fire and police department, declining to give more details.

More than 700 apartments in the three buildings were built six years ago.

The blaze started in the basement parking area and took more than 200 firefighters more than an hour to put under control.
