  • A fire broke out shortly after midnight on September 7 in Paniai, Central Papua, Indonesia, destroying at least 40 kiosks and houses and killing 11 people, including six children aged between two and nine years old.
  • The fire spread quickly due to the intense blaze and tightly packed houses and stalls, making firefighting efforts lengthy despite the use of fire trucks and water cannons, and it lasted for over three hours.
  • The victims included five adults and six children, according to police spokesman Henry J. Manurung.
  • Authorities are still investigating the cause of the market fire, and deadly fires have occurred previously in Indonesia.
