  Four dead after fire engulfs residential high-rise buildings in Hong Kong

At least four people have died and others remain trapped after a massive fire engulfed multiple high-rise towers of a residential complex in Hong Kong's northern Tai Po district on Wednesday, the government and Fire Services Department said, AzVision.az reports, citing Reuters.

Firefighters continued to battle the blaze as dusk fell, with thick black smoke billowing from the 31-storey towers, home to 2,000 residential apartments.

The Fire Service Department told Reuters it does not yet have a figure for the number of people who may still be inside.

Two people are in critical condition having suffered burns, the government said, while others including some fire services staff have also been injured.
