Hermosillo: Twenty-three people, including children, were killed late Saturday in a fire that broke out at a store in the city of Hermosillo, in northwestern Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her condolences to the families of the victims in a post on the X platform, noting that she had ordered the immediate deployment of support teams to assist the victims' families and those injured in the incident.
According to Qatar News Agency, the city's fire chief stated that the cause of the blaze has not yet been determined, as investigations continue. The tragic incident has left the community in mourning as authorities work to uncover the reasons behind the disaster.
In a similar incident last September, at least three people were killed and 70 others were injured when a tanker truck overturned, caught fire, and exploded on a highway southeast of Mexico City. Such incidents have raised concerns about safety regulations and the need for stringent measures to prevent future tragedies.
