According to initial details, a short-circuit caused a fire to erupt in a multi-storeyed residential building in Shadbagh, Sher Shah Road, house. The blaze then engulfed the room in which the six children were sleeping.
The siblings included three boys and three girls namely: Zain, Azan, Aizan, Minahil, Dua, and Umnia. Amongst the six Azan and Aizan were twins, both being one and a half year old.
The fire brigade was called in which managed to control the fire, but could not save the children.
It was not immediately clear what caused the children to die.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the incident, and sought a report from the authorities in this regard.
The funeral prayers for the deceased were also held in the afternoon today (May 17).
