A fire in a commercial building south of Benin’s capital has killed at least 35 people, authorities said, as they started an investigation.
The gutted and burned ruins of a building in Seme-Podji, 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of the capital Porto-Novo, and the charred remains of cars and motorcycles was all that could be seen in the aftermath of the fire in footage by Benin’s public broadcaster.
