At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured when a fire broke out early Friday morning at a crowded music pub in eastern Thailand, police and rescue workers said.

Video circulated on social media showed people running out of the pub's entrance, from which thick black smoke and flames also emerged.

Several of those fleeing had their clothing on fire.

Police said at least 35 people were injured.

The cause of the fire at the Mountain Bar & Bistro in the Sattahip district of the Chonburi province, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of Bangkok, is under investigation, provincial police chief Maj. Gen. Atthasit Kijjahan told PPTV television news.
