by VOA News

   A fire broke out in a nightclub in Thailand early Friday, killing at
   least 13 people and injuring 35, according to officials.

   The cause of the fire at the Mountain B nightclub in Chonburi province,
   southeast of of Bangkok, has not yet been determined.

   The police said all the victims have been identified as Thai nationals,
   so far.

   A person who was in the club told CNN that after the fire erupted, the
   entrance to the club was jammed with people who were trying to flee.
