TEHRAN, Iran (AA) – Eight people lost their lives in a fire that broke out late Tuesday in Iran’s capital.
According to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency, an explosion occurred followed by a fire during a birthday party at a cafe in Tehran’s Shahriar suburb.
Four children were among the dead, according to Iran’s Red Crescent Society.
Three children, three women and a man died at the scene, and a three-year-old boy died in the hospital.
The Shahriar Prosecutor’s Office said the cafe is located in a basement and that a helium balloon burst into flames, according to preliminary findings.
After the cafe caught fire, people fled to the kitchen in the back but suffocated from the smoke.
