Twelve people lost their lives and another eight were injured in a fire at an unlicensed elderly care home in western Sri Lanka, in the city of Anguruwatota. Authorities arrested the facility's manager on suspicion of negligence. The home was severely overcrowded, with 71 residents living in a facility designed for only about 15 beds, which contributed to the severity of the incident.
