A fire has broken out in a multi-storey garment factory building outside the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, a day after more than 100 people died in a blaze that swept through another factory there.
A fire brigade official says the fire in the 11 or 12-storey building is almost under control.
There were no reports of deaths, but eight workers were injured due to heavy smoke, Reuters reports.
The earlier blaze, in which up to 110 people died, was Bangladesh's worst-ever factory blaze.
Working conditions at Bangladeshi factories are notoriously poor, with little enforcement of safety laws, and overcrowding and locked fire doors are common, Reuters reports.
"The 12-storey building houses four different factories and the fire broke out the third floor. We can see some people on the rooftop," deputy commissioner of Dhaka police, Nisharul Arif, told another agency, AFP, just after the fire began.
