ATHENS - Two people were killed and two others were injured after a fire broke out at a migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesvos late on Thursday, a police official told Reuters.

The official said that a 66-year old woman and a 6-year old child were killed when a tent caught fire in the camp of Moria. Two other people were seriously injured.

Police and the fire brigade were investigating the scene, a government official said adding that according to initial evidence the fire was probably caused by accident.

Clashes broke out following the incident between dozens of migrants and police, both officials said. The government official said they were brief.
