Sudden tragedy, 110+ people died, and the cause of the accident was disclosed
On the evening of the 26th local time, a fire broke out at a wedding in the Hamdaniyah area of Iraq's Nineveh Province.
About 1,000 people were present in the wedding hall at the time of the fire, and the bride and groom may have also lost their lives in the fire.
According to the local safety department, preliminary investigation showed that the cause of the fire accident was the lack of local fire protection measures, not a man-made criminal case. The main reasons were the use of highly flammable building materials in the wedding hall and the lack of alarm and firefighting equipment. Preliminary reports indicate that the use of fireworks during the wedding caused a fire that caused the hall to partially collapse.
The fire accident has killed 114 people and injured nearly 200 others, and the injured have been transferred to medical facilities for treatment.
