BEIJING, Saturday (AFP) At least 30 people were killed and 15 others were injured in a hotel fire in China's southern Guangdong province, state media said Saturday.

The blaze broke out at about noon on Friday (0400 GMT) and engulfed the top three floors of the four-storey Huanan Hotel, located in a downtown district of Shantou city, the Xinhua news agency said quoting local authorities. "The fire was put out around 4:00pm... Many rooms were gutted," said an officer on duty at the Chaonan district fire brigade, who refused to give further details.

Four of the 15 injured, who were taken to Shantou's Central Hospital, were in a serious condition.
