DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — At least 35 people died in a building fire early Wednesday in Kuwait, the country’s state-run news agency reported.

KUNA said authorities were investigating the cause of the fire, which broke out in the southern Mangaf district.

Kuwait, a nation with some 4.2 million people that’s slightly smaller than the U.S. state of New Jersey, has the world’s sixth-largest known oil reserves.
