KARACHI: On Tuesday morning, a major fire at a three-story facility in the industrial region of New Karachi injured at least eight firefighters.
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) Chief Fire Officer, Muhammad Humayun, stated that the facility collapsed due to a loud explosion that started the fire.
Rescue efforts were launched right away as a result of the explosion’s broad disruption.
The fall of the structure was disastrous, he said, and he was concerned about the extent of the devastation.
