A fire tore through a bar in Bangkok, Thailand on July 12, 2026, killing at least 27 people, according to Thai media and officials. The venue was in the northern part of the city, which is Thailand's capital.
BBC News and NPR both reported the death toll. First responders shared video footage online showing a large blaze burning at the venue, with plumes of smoke visible from the pub's front door. Separate footage, which NPR described as unverified, showed flames shooting from the bar and people fleeing the scene.
The cause of the fire had not been reported as of the initial accounts.
