A boat carrying 14 tourists burst into flames in Vietnam’s Halong Bay on Tuesday.

The boat was carrying 21 people in total, including a tour guide and crew members.

No injuries or fatalities were reported from the sudden blaze, and the cause of the fire remains unknown.

The boat was returning to the Tuan Chau port from an overnight trip in the bay when the incident occurred.

It’s the third reported boat fire in the UNESCO world heritage bay since February last year.
