HÀ NỘI — Objects suspected to be human skulls were found at the scene of a recent massive fire in Hà Nội, police announced on Friday evening.

According to the Ba Đình District police, residents in the neighbourhood reported that they have found two objects similar to human skulls when clearing rubble from the blaze that burned down at least six houses on Đê La Thành Street on Sunday.

They were suspected to be the victims who failed to escape the fire.

The police have arrived at the scene to determine if the skull-like objects are actually human bones.

The fire reportedly broke out at 6pm on Sunday, driving dozens of people – mostly parents who were having their children treated at the adjacent National Children’s Hospital – to evacuate in panic. Initial reports said that no one was injured in the blaze. — Khanh
