India, Dec. 10 -- A fire tore through a seven-storey office building in Indonesia's capital on Tuesday, killing at least 22 people, police said, adding that a drone battery that exploded on the ground floor likely caused it. The blaze spread to the upper levels before being put out. "However, the exact cause is still under investigation by the forensic laboratory team," said Susatyo Purnomo Condro, the Central Jakarta police chief, telling reporters the force was "committed to thoroughly investigating this fire incident". The Jakarta Fire Department said at least 100 firefighters and 29 fire trucks were deployed. P15
