A fire has destroyed a high-rise building in Shanghai, killing at least 42 people, state media report.
At least 90 others were injured as the blaze tore through a 28-storey block of flats in the Chinese city, Xinhua said.
The building was being renovated when the fire broke out. Chinese TV showed people clinging to scaffolding surrounding the building as they waited to be rescued from the flames.
Firefighters battled for several hours to bring the blaze under control.
