At least 289 people were killed in a huge fire at a garment factory in Pakistan's largest city of Karachi, provincial health minister Saghir Ahmed said Wednesday.
  
"Three major hospitals in Karachi have so far received 289 bodies" from the blaze, he told AFP.

The evening blaze in the four-storey factory in Pakistan's largest city coincided with another at a shoe plant in Pakistan's second largest city Lahore on Tuesday that killed at least 21 people.
