KITAKYUSHU, FUKUOKA PREF.- Six bodies were found on Monday at the site of an apartment building burned down by an overnight fire in Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture, southwestern Japan, according to local police.
The fire started at around 11:20 p.m. Sunday (2:20 p.m. GMT) and was put out about four hours later.
