DUBAI: A house fire killed seven children on Monday near the eastern city of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, the education ministry said in a statement. The victims from the Rabia family ranged from kindergarten age to the eighth grade, the ministry added on its official Twitter page. Gulf News, a UAE newspaper, quoted a local police and civil defence officials saying that their mother reported the fire at dawn and though the cause of the blaze remained unknown, a short-circuit was suspected. A tourism and trade hub, the UAE has suffered several high-profile fires among its trademark high-rise buildings in recent years, few of which caused deaths. (Reuters)
