Five people were killed and seven injured when they leapt from a fifth-storey rooftop in southwest China to escape a fire engulfing the building, state media reported yesterday.
The inferno took hold in the building in Guizhou province in the early hours of the morning Sunday, after a shop on the ground floor caught fire, Xinhua news agency reported.
One other person inside the building was killed in the blaze, it said.
The seven injured were in a local hospital and expected to survive.
The cause of the blaze was under investigation, Xinhua added.
