At least 10 people are dead after a huge fire ripped through a hotel in eastern China.
The blaze broke out at HNA Platinum Mix Hotel in Nanchang, Jiangxi province and took fire crews about two hours to control.
Fire fighters say they then found seven bodies in the debris and a further three people died out of 16 taken to hospital, according to Xinhua news agency.
Officials told the news agency the fire was likely started inadvertently by decoration work being carried out by constriction workers at the time.
It said seven people have been detained by police while investigations into the cause continue.
Authorities said the 10 dead include three hotel guests.
The remaining seven are thought to be construction workers.
Residents from a 24-storey apartment building which is connected to the hotel were also evacuated.
