Civil defence forces, backed by police, made "great efforts to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to other houses", the ministry added.

"Preliminary investigations into the accident indicate the presence of gasoline stored in a large quantity inside the house, which led to the outbreak of a massive fire and resulted in a number of deaths," according to the ministry.
