A restaurant fire in northeast China killed 22 people and injured three others on Tuesday, state broadcaster CCTV reported, without giving any details on the cause of the blaze.
The fire broke out at 12:25 p.m. (04:25 GMT) in a restaurant in a residential area in Liaoning Province's Liaoyang City, the report said.
China's President Xi Jinping called the fire "a deeply sobering lesson" and urged local officials to quickly determine its cause, treat the injured, and hold those responsible to account, state news agency Xinhua said.
