Ten killed in fire at beach resort in Bangladesh

Ten people died in a fire at a beach resort in Bangladesh, a South Asian country. Six of the victims were members of the same family.

A fire at a beach resort in Bangladesh, a country in South Asia, has killed ten people, according to a report from the international news outlet Al Jazeera published on 17 October 2026.

Six of the dead were members of one family, meaning more than half of the victims were relatives who had been at the resort together.

The source does not give the cause of the fire, the exact time it broke out, the number of people injured or details of the rescue effort. Those circumstances remain unclear and may be clarified in later reports.
