(BBC NEWS) — At least 25 people have been killed in a Mexican bar fire that police say was set deliberately by gang members.

Another 11 were badly injured in the blaze in the Caballo Blanco (White Horse) bar in Coatzacoalcos, a port city in Veracruz, on Tuesday night.

Survivors said men believed to be gangsters blocked the exits before setting the venue on fire.
