A fire at a stud farm in the Normandy region of northern France has killed 70 horses.
The fire broke out on Sunday in a shed housing the horses on a farm, the newspaper Ouest France reported, citing the authorities.
A large building with several boxes, horses and equipment burnt to the ground.
A 21-year-old man who discovered the fire suffered burns to his hands. The 70 animals died in the fire.
An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the blaze but it appears to be accidental, police said.
