Scotland ? Fire broke out at a southern Scottish nursing home early Saturday, killing 10 residents and injuring six others, the fire service said.

Most of the victims died from smoke-inhalation in one of the worst tragedies to hit a British nursing home since the government began regulating the industry in the 1960s.

At least 40 people were in the RosePark care home just south of Glasgow when the small blaze broke out, Alan Forbes, of the Strathclyde Fire Brigade, said.

Police initially said 11 people had died but later lowered the number to 10, citing a miscommunication between agencies.

Chief Superintendent Tom Buchan, divisional fire commander for North Lanarkshire, said the fire itself had been small and had caused only minor damage to the building. Officials were still investigating the cause.
