The death toll in the fire at seven high-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong has risen to 146, while the fate of 150 people is still unclear as the search operations continued on the fifth day.
Eight people, including a woman connected with the renovation work of the buildings that caught fire on Wednesday, were arrested by Hong Kong’s anti-corruption body for allegedly using inflammable and substandard materials.
Hong Kong is observing three-day mourning period to remember people who died in a massive fire at the Wang Fuk Court apartment complex.
