A devastating fire tore through a wedding celebration in Iraq’s northern Nineveh province, claiming the lives of at least 113 people and leaving more than 150 others injured. The tragic incident unfolded on Tuesday night when a blaze erupted in an event hall in the Hamdaniyah district, located outside the city of Mosul.

Nineveh Deputy Governor Hassan al-Allaq confirmed the grim death toll, but provincial governor Najim al-Jubouri cautioned that the numbers could rise as authorities continue to assess the situation. The fire, which started around 22.45 local time, cast a dark shadow over what should have been a joyous occasion.
