China shoe factory fire kills at least 28

A fire at a shoe factory in Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, China, killed at least 28 people and injured many others. The incident occurred at the Huiteng Shoes factory, where over 500 firefighters and emergency personnel worked to control the blaze. State media reported that the fire was fueled by materials used in shoe production, and some individuals were trapped and out of contact. President Xi Jinping condemned the disaster as 'heavy human losses' and emphasized strict accountability for those responsible. The factory owner and others have been detained, and the company's accounts have been frozen. This follows a series of major industrial safety accidents in China this year, prompting renewed calls for stricter safety measures.
