A fire broke out around midnight on the night of October 31 to November 1, 2026, in a six-room residence in the Morofé district of Yamoussoukro. Two-year-old “Béné” died of asphyxiation after being left in a bedroom while his mother, N’guessan Amenan Véronique, was at the market. Around ten tenants lost their homes and belongings; military firefighters took several hours to contain the blaze, whose cause remains unknown.
