Vietnam karaoke bar fire kills at least 32 people

Blaze engulfed bar near Ho Chi Minh City, trapping people inside and forcing some to jump from the second-floor building

The death toll from a fire that tore through a karaoke bar in southern Vietnam has risen to 32, state media have said.

The blaze engulfed the second floor of the building on Tuesday night, trapping customers and staff as dense smoke filled the staircase and blocked the emergency exit, reports said.
