Eight people died Monday in a fire at a home for older people on the outskirts of the Serbian capital, Belgrade, officials said.
Seven others were injured in the blaze that erupted around 3:30 a.m. in Barajevo, a municipality on the southern edge of Belgrade, state RTS television reported.
Police said in a statement that 30 people were in the home when the fire broke out. They said the fire engulfed over a third of the care facility, which is located in a house in a rural area.
The suspected cause of the fire was arson, police said.
