Islamabad, Aug 26: At least 15 infants were killed on Wednesday after a fire broke out in a gynaecology ward of a major hospital in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.<\/div>\n
The fire incident occurred at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), the largest and well-equipped public hospital in the capital.<\/div>\n
Geo News reported that 15 babies died in the inferno.<\/div>\n
However, there was no official confirmation of the casualties.<\/div>\n
PIMS Spokesperson Dr Aneeza Jalil told the Dawn newspaper that 15 babies were in the ward where the fire occurred.<\/div>\n
“Some of the babies may have been discharged during the night so the exact number [of casualties] cannot be shared right now,” she said.<\/div>\n
Asked about the cause of the incident, she said the fire appeared to have erupted due to a short circuit, adding that the fire erupted at around 7 am. She said that the flames had been extinguished but the cooling process would take some time.<\/div>\n
