At least 41 prisoners have reportedly died and dozens more injured by a fire which tore through an overcrowded jail in Indonesia.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of blaze that started at Block C of Tangerang prison on the outskirts of Jakarta designated for drug offenders, said Rika Aprianti, spokesman for the corrections department at the Justice Ministry, according to Associated Press.
Hundreds of police and soldiers were deployed to take control of Tangerang prison, which was designed to house 1,225 inmates but has more than 2,000, Ms Aprianti said.
Block C housed 122 convicts when the fire occurred.
She said the fire had since been extinguished and all victims have been evacuated to a hospital.
