The death toll in Hong Kong’s deadliest blaze in decades rose to 128 people, authorities said Friday, as firefighting operations ended after a gruelling 40 hours. Around 200 people were still unaccounted for, said the city's security chief, as families desperately scoured hospital lists for information about their missing loved ones. Police said they arrested 8 people, including scaffolding subcontractors and managers supervising a renovation project.
