At least ten people were killed after a fire broke out at a restaurant in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar area on Wednesday, with reports indicating that the death toll may rise. Multiple fire tenders were dispatched to control the situation, and rescue operations were conducted to assist those trapped inside the building. (Source: Hindustan Times)

ABC News focused on a lower death toll of four, while The Jerusalem Post highlighted a higher figure of at least 20, suggesting a lack of consensus on the incident's severity. Additionally, The Hindu noted the presence of foreigners among the victims, a detail omitted by other outlets.
