Eleven people have been killed and 50 others injured in a fire in central China that spread to a hotel.

The official Xinhua News Agency says the fire broke out just after 6:30 a.m. Sunday in Xiangyang city in Hubei province and wasn’t extinguished until almost 9 a.m.

Two Xiangyang firefighters said the fire started in an Internet cafe on the floor below the hotel in a five-story building. They refused to be identified, as is common with Chinese officials.
