New Delhi: A sudden fire broke out in a café in Russia, killing 13 people while about 250 people have been evacuated safely. The incident is from a café in Kostroma. It is being told that suddenly a fire broke out in the café on Saturday night. There is no clear information regarding the cause of the fire.

At least 13 people were caught in the fire

“According to preliminary information, 13 people were caught in the fire,” local governor Sergei Sitnikov said. Russian news agencies reported that 250 people had been evacuated from the building after a fire broke out at night in the city, about 300 kilometers (180 mi) northeast of Moscow.

Polygon Café was draped in fire

Sitnikov said there was a fire in a café named Polygon. After receiving information about the fire, fire tenders reached the spot and doused the fire. At least five others were injured, but they did not need to be hospitalized, he said.

Local emergency services said they were notified of the blaze at around 02:00 a.m. and the fire had spread to 3,500 square metres.
