In China, at least 28 people are dead after a fire tore through a shoe factory in the southeastern city of Jinjiang. Authorities say the factory’s stairwells were packed with materials, hampering firefighters’ rescue efforts. More than 200 workers were evacuated. It’s the latest of several deadly industrial disasters in China this year and follows last November’s fire at a residential complex in Hong Kong that left more than 160 people dead.
