Some 24 of the injured had been hospitalized, most with burns, the AP quoted a Health Ministry spokesperson as saying.

Azerbaijan’s health ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside working hours. The interior ministry could not immediately be reached.

The country’s emergency services were called to the club at 3 a.m. (2300 GMT on Saturday) and extinguished the fire before it could spread, the AP said, citing a statement from the department.
