At least 41 people have been burned to death after fire engulfed a bus packed with migrant workers in Bangladesh.
The bus, carrying passengers back to Chittagong following the Eid holidays, burst into flames near the eastern town of Comilla after a gas cylinder exploded.
The accident happened on a busy highway near the town.
Assistant director of Comilla fire brigade, Abdur Rashid, said they had completed their search of the bus and found 41 dead bodies.
It was not known if the bus driver was among the survivors.
Eight people suffered burns and were being treated in hospital. Six more were uninjured except for minor cuts and bruises.
Comilla police superintendent Mohammad Shahed said survivors told police the bus had been travelling at high speed at the time of the accident.
The bus is thought to have been involved in a collision with an auto rickshaw immediately before the explosion.
