This is really sad news story that broke overnight cycles
Authorities in the eastern French town of Wintzenheim on Wednesday said 11 people were killed in a fire at a holiday cottage hosting a group of disabled people.
Local media reported the fatalities included ten people with disabilities and one carer.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne expressed her "sadness" over the "appalling" disaster.
What we know about the fire
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin tweeted that "early this morning, a fire broke out in a facility for disabled people" in the small town near the city of Colmar, close to France's border with Germany.
The group of adults staying at the cottage had been on vacation from the nearby city of Nancy.
