A predawn fire at the Grand Kartal hotel in Turkey’s Kartalkaya Ski Resort killed at least 76 people and injured 51, according to Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya.

The fire, which began around 3:27 a.m., likely caused most fatalities due to suffocation, including children.

The 12-story hotel housed 238 registered guests at the time, ABC News has reported.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced administrative and criminal investigations to determine the cause and hold those responsible accountable.
