Twelve people have been detained by police for questioning after a Chinese hospital fire killed at least 29, most of them patients.

The fire broke out in Changfeng Hospital, Beijing at around 13:00 local time on Tuesday.

Officials say a preliminary investigation suggests renovation works had ignited paint stored on site.

Among those detained are the hospital’s director and the head of the firm overseeing the works.
