Three young people have died in a fire in Milan in northern Italy, Italian media reports.

The fire broke out in a warehouse belonging to a shop at around 11pm on Thursday evening. The three victims were a pair of siblings in their late teens and a 24-year-old man. All three were Chinese nationals residing in Italy.

An extinguishing operation continued throughout the night until Friday. It is still unclear what caused the fire, but there is information that the shop owner has been subjected to threats and the police do not rule out that it may have been set, writes the news agency Ansa.
