The three-storey house caught fire in the early hours, leading to a fatal outcome. The fire and emergency services discovered their bodies and investigations into the cause of that blaze are still underway.
Authorities are actively managing the current hotel fire, emphasizing the urgency of preventive measures and fire safety protocols in the region.
