No fewer than 25 persons are reported dead in a fire outbreak in Saudi Arabia.
Thirty other persons are reported injured in the fire outbreak at a wedding in eastern Saudi Arabia.
There were said to be hundreds of persons inside the courtyard of a home in the village of Ain Badr, Abqaiq region, when the blaze began.
A high-voltage power line reportedly fell down and sent sparks flying after it was hit by celebratory gunfire.
The power line is also believed to have touched a metal door at the only exit from the courtyard, which lead to many of the victims being electrocuted.
