Italy: woman and her three children die in apartment fire. The children who died were aged 2 to 6 years old.

The fire was apparently caused by a short circuit on a radiator. The father, absent during the tragedy, was hospitalized in a state of shock. The origin of the disaster seems “completely accidental” and the apartment has been sealed pending assessments, he said. The mayor of the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region expressed “the deep pain of the city for this terrible tragedy”
