The cause of the fire is under investigation, but a local news outlet aired footage showing pyrotechnics shooting flames up from the floor of the event and setting a chandelier on fire.
A fire that raced through a hall hosting a Christian wedding in northern Iraq has killed around 100 people and injured at least 100 others and authorities warn the death
The fire broke out Tuesday night in a wedding hall near the village of Qaraqosh in Hamdaniya, an area about 20 miles southeast of Mosul. Christians have lived in the area for nearly 2,000 years, but fled the Islamic State group in 2014, and only in the last couple of years have begun to return and raise families again in these small Nineveh Plain villages, local officials said.
Authorities on Wednesday said around 100 people were killed, with the toll expected to rise with at least 100 injured.
