Nine people have died in a massive fire in central Taiwan at a huge food-processing building that was under construction, according to reports.
Video posted on social media showed a wall of dark smoke and orange flames billowing out of one end of the five-storey building in the city of Taichung.
The cause of the fire was undetermined but the Taichung government said it spread rapidly because of a large quantity of foam panels at the site.
Nineteen people were rescued.
