Kuwait City: A fire which broke out at a villa housing expatriate workers in Kuwait on Thursday killed nine Asian residents including children and injured more than 25.
Fire service directorate spokesman Khalil Al Ameer said that six of those killed in the blaze were from a single family. He said the injured included four firefighters.
The fire happened in a house that had been subdivided into multiple residences in Farwaniya, a suburb 15km south of the capital, Kuwait City.
Al Ameer did not have further details on the victims' nationalities or identities.
Expatriate workers make up slightly more than two-thirds of Kuwait's 4.3 million population.
