A fire ripped through apartment blocks in Hong Kong this afternoon, killing at least four residents.

Footage shows flames ripping through the structures while smoke poured from the Wang Fuk Court complex in the northern Tai Po district.

Officials said that seven people have been taken to two hospitals. Four of them have died, while two are in a critical condition, and one person is in a stable condition.

The housing area has more than 2,000 units in eight blocks, with many occupied by multiple residents.

The Government of Hong Kong said it has opened temporary shelters in response to the fire at the Wang Fuk Court complex.
