# At least 15 infants have been burnt to death in a fire at the Pakistan Institute for Medical Sciences, the largest hospital in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, this morning. According to reports, the blaze appears to have been triggered by an air conditioning compressor explosion inside the nursery. Rescue teams managed to save one baby. Authorities say an inquiry committee headed by the Additional Deputy Commissioner General has been formed to investigate the incident, including whether the nursery’s evacuation and fire-safety arrangements were adequate.
