Fifteen people have been killed in Ecuador's capital, Quito, after flames started by fireworks swept through a nightclub last night. Around 45 people were injured.
The fire was apparently set off by a pyrotechnics show gone wrong during the concert attended by hundreds of people at the Factory.
People were trapped inside as "the exit doors were closed and padlocked", Jaime Benalcazar, Quito's fire chief, said. Officials removed 14 "completely burned" bodies.
