A couple from Rasdhoo, Alif Alif Atoll, is in critical condition with severe burns covering over 80% of their bodies after a house fire broke out around 11:15 PM on Monday. The couple, a nurse and a Bank of Maldives staff member, were transported to IGMH in Malé for treatment, and local police have confirmed the fire while investigations into its cause are underway.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
