The death toll from a catastrophic fire in Delhi has risen to at least 21. Among the victims are foreign nationals, though the British embassy has confirmed no UK casualties. The blaze tore through a commercial building in the heart of the city, a grim reminder of the city's lax fire safety standards.
The political fallout in India is immediate. Opposition parties are sharpening their knives, demanding accountability. At Westminster, the Foreign Office is monitoring closely.
For Number 10, this is a crisis averted. No British lives lost. But the tragedy will reignite questions about safety protocols in British-owned businesses abroad.
For now, the focus is on the dead. The families. The unanswered questions.
The game of politics will wait. But not for long.
