At Least 49 People Die Following Huge Fire At Container Depot In Bangladesh

At least 49 people have died following a huge fire at a container depot in Bangladesh.

Nine of the dead are firefighters who were trying to tackle the blaze, which is still out of control.

More than 150 others are injured after the flames triggered multiple explosions in the south-eastern town of Sitakunda last night.

Officials believe the cause may be linked to hydrogen peroxide being stored there.
