UPDATE (September 26, 2020 12.38pm CST): Three people have been found dead following the fire that broke out yesterday at a Huawei facility in Dongguan. The building was reportedly not in use at the time of the fire, and the main material burning was sound-absorbing cotton, as cited by Reuters.

According to local reports, the fire broke out at a Huawei lab in Songshanhu district. 

As of press time, firefighters are currently putting out the flames and a report on potential casualties and injuries has yet to come out.
