After a cylinder blast, a child died and four were burned in a Karachi flat fire.

An apartment in North Nazimabad, close to Haidery, saw a huge explosion that caused a fire that resulted in the death of a kid and the burning of four others.

An early story stated that a child had died and that four people, including a mother, had been burned and sent to the hospital. The flat was vacated due to the major blaze.

According to reports, a gas cylinder explosion caused the fire. Rescue crews and fire departments were alerted, rushed to the scene, and put out the fire.

The Sindh IG instructed SSP Central to oversee the rescue effort and instructed police officers to get at the location right away.

Residents were forced to leave their homes due to the terror caused by the explosion, which was heard in far-flung locations.
