Suspected Arson in Nice Claims Seven Lives, Including Children

French authorities are investigating a deadly fire in a low-income neighborhood, with evidence pointing to deliberate ignition.

The fire broke out early Thursday on the seventh floor of a Nice apartment building.
Seven people, including three children and a teenager, died in the blaze.
Initial investigations suggest the fire was started by hooded individuals pouring petrol in the stairwell.
The victims were all from the same family of Comorian origin, residing in Nice since 2013.
Authorities are searching for three suspects believed to be involved in the arson.
