HONG KONG — The deadly inferno that tore through a high-rise housing estate in Hong Kong has killed at least 128 people , authorities said Friday, with some 200 people still missing.

The city’s Secretary for Security, Chris Tang, told reporters that 89 bodies could not yet be identified, while there were also 79 people injured.
