Two women trapped on the second floor of a four-storey house in Nha Trang have died after a fire that authorities initially suspect began with a phone charging on a bed.

The blaze broke out around noon on September 2 at the An Binh Tan urban area in Nam Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa province. Six people were inside the house at the time. Four managed to get out, but 74-year-old L.T.K. and 42-year-old L.N.H.C. remained trapped on the second floor.

Emergency crews rescued both women and took them to Khanh Hoa General Hospital. Their injuries proved too severe, and both later died. Hospital representatives and Nam Nha Trang Ward officials confirmed the deaths on the evening of September 3.

Authorities said their initial assessment pointed to a phone-charging incident on a bed. An electrical short circuit may have caused the fire to spread through the home.
