Story summary

On October 17, 2026, a fire broke out at Tuptup Resto and Resort in Inani, near Patuartek Beach along Marine Drive in Bangladesh's Cox’s Bazar district, killing 10 people and injuring four others. The incident occurred around 6:30 AM when the resort was reportedly hosting about 30 guests; only a few managed to escape. The three-story bamboo and wood structure was entirely gutted by the blaze, which took nearly two hours for firefighters to extinguish. Among the fatalities were five women and a 5-year-old boy who had traveled from Dhaka, the capital city. Additionally, six of the victims were members of the same family. Authorities noted that the resort lacked proper fire safety measures and was operating without a necessary license despite an official warning in June.
