At least 16 people have been killed in a fire at a nightclub in Cameroon’s capital Yaoundé.
The government said the blaze was caused by fireworks that were lit while champagne was being served in the club.
At least eight others were seriously injured in the fire in the early hours of Sunday at Liv’s Night Club.
The fire engulfed the main room of the venue in the capital’s upmarket Bastos district.
The emergency services were still searching the venue, and the number of the dead could rise.
