Fire at Kinshasa wedding kills at least 22, many injured in overnight blaze

At least 22 people were killed in a fire that broke out at a wedding celebration in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The blaze started overnight on Friday and continued burning into Saturday morning in the city's Lingwala district. Several attendees sustained injuries while attempting to flee the rapidly spreading flames. Narrow corridors inside the venue created bottlenecks that hampered evacuation efforts for those trapped. Authorities have yet to confirm the exact cause of the fire.
