**A fire that tore through a five-storey shopping centre in the eastern Iraqi city of Kut has left at least 61 dead, local officials said. The blaze at the mall, which opened seven days ago, broke out on Wednesday night and has since been brought under control. Videos posted on social media showed firefighters rescuing people from the mall's roof, but state media reported that many were still missing."A tragedy and a calamity has befallen us," regional governor Mohammed al-Miyahi said, adding that legal action would be brought against the shopping centre's owner. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.**
伊拉克东部城市库特的五层购物中心发生火灾，当地官员称至少61人死亡。这家七天前刚开业的商场周三夜间起火，现已被控制。社交媒体视频显示消防员从屋顶救人，但官方媒体称多人仍失踪。"我们遭遇了悲剧和灾难，"省长穆罕默德·米亚希表示将追究商场所有者法律责任，起火原因尚在调查。
**The governor has also declared three days of mourning. Videos on INA's news channel show flames ripping through several floors of the Corniche Hypermarket in the city's centre, as firefighters try to douse them. Other clips circulating on social media appear to show a small number of people on the roof during the fire, as well as the burned out insides of the centre. A number of people were rescued from the building by firefighters, al-Miyahi told local media. Ambulances were still taking casualties to hospitals in the city, which is about 160 km (100 miles) southeast of Baghdad, at 04:00 local time.**
省长宣布哀悼三天。伊拉克通讯社视频显示，市中心Corniche超市多层楼面被火焰吞噬，消防员奋力扑救。其他社媒视频显示火灾期间屋顶有少量人员，以及商场内部焚毁景象。米亚希告诉当地媒体，消防员已救出多人。截至当地时间凌晨4点，救护车仍在向医院运送伤者，该市位于巴格达东南约160公里处。
**"The tragic fire claimed the lives of 61 innocent citizens, most of whom suffocated in bathrooms, and among them 14 charred bodies yet to be identified," the interior ministry said in a statement. It added that 45 people were rescued from inside the building.**
内政部声明称："这场悲剧夺去61名无辜市民生命，多数在卫生间窒息身亡，其中14具焦尸尚未确认身份。"另表示45人从建筑内获救。
