Five expatriate workers died and three others suffered severe burns when a fire broke out late on the night of 12 Mar at a foreign worker accommodation block in Dhigurah, according to the Maldives Police Service. Two of the injured were taken to Malé for treatment, and a team of investigators from the capital is expected to travel to Dhigurah as the cause, possibly a gas leak, remains under investigation.
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.
