Officials in northern Pakistan say a fire erupted at a wooden home in the Seri area of Pattan, killing 10 family members.

Three other people were injured in the blaze and have been hospitalized.

Lower Kohistan Rescue spokesperson, Farman Ali, told Dawn.com, a Pakistani news website, that an electrical short circuit ignited the fire that caused the home’s roof to collapse as the family slept.
