Fire sweeps through clothing market in Kabul
A fire swept through a second-hand clothing market in Kabul early Sunday destroying dozens of shops and causing huge financial losses for the shop owners.
Shopkeepers said the fire broke out in a nearby bakery at about 3am on Sunday and rapidly spread through the market, destroying the clothing stores and fruit and vegetable shops.
The exact cause of the fire is not yet clear but officials from the general directorate of accident and firefighting in Kabul said the fire was brought under control before it could spread further and that an investigation into the incident has been launched.
