At least 10 patients have died after a fire at a temporary COVID hospital in Vijayawada, south-east India.
The fire broke out at Swarna Palace, a hotel being used to house patients.
It was brought under control in half an hour and all surviving patients have been moved to another hospital in the city.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "anguished" by the blaze, the second fire at a COVID centre in days.
The fire comes after eight patients died at a COVID hospital in Ahmedabad on Thursday after a fire broke out inside its critical care unit.
India recorded 64,000 cases of COVID-19 yesterday, a new single-day record.
