Large blaze tackled at Karachi’s City Courts

    A large fire ripped through a warehouse at Karachi’s City Courts.

    The blaze destroyed court records and spread to stocks of ammunition. Firefighters were unable to successfully run a rescue operation due to blasts taking place at the site.

    It took around six hours for the fire to be overcome.

    An official claimed an electrical fault was the cause of the fire in the British colonial-era building.
