A restaurant fire in northeast China has killed 22 people and injured three others, state broadcaster CCTV says.
The fire broke out in a restaurant in a residential area in Liaoning Province's Liaoyang City, the report said.
There were no details on the cause of Tuesday's fire.
China's President Xi Jinping called the fire "a deeply sobering lesson" and urged local officials to quickly determine its cause, treat the injured, and hold those responsible to account, state news agency Xinhua said.
Liaoyang, home to approximately 1.83 million people in its wider metropolitan area.
Gas leaks caused at least two high-profile explosions in residential areas last year, with a blast at a restaurant in China's northern province of Hebei killing two people and injuring 26 others in March and an explosion in a high rise building in southern Shenzhen in September killing one person.
