Well breaking news at this hour A massive fire at a fuel storage station on Friday in the Indonesian capital city Jakarta has killed at least 16 people and injured dozens of others, officials said. The fire broke out at a facility located near a densely populated area in northern Jakarta, forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate their homes. At least 42 people were injured in the fire, according to the Army Chief of Staff Dudung Abdurachman, though numbers in other outlets put the figure at a slightly higher figure of 50. Jakarta's acting governor Heru Budi Hartono told reporters that most of the people injured were suffering from burns and that the government would pay for their treatment. He said three children were among those injured and that they were in a serious condition. The cause of the fire, which broke out at around 8 p.m. local time (1300 GMT/UTC), is yet to be determined. www.dw.com/en/indonesia-fire-at-fuel-storage-station-kills-several/a-64882001
