At least five babies died and over a dozen others were injured in a fire Sunday at a Sarajevo orphanage, reported Reuters.

The fire started on the third floor of the Bosnian Ljubica Ivezic orphanage about 6 a.m., according to The Associated Press. The fire spread to three rooms where the babies were sleeping.

Firefighters put out the blaze in around 10 minutes, reported The Associated Press.

Over 20 children were rescued by firefighters, according to Deutsche Welle, and it is believed several of the injured are in serious condition. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
