In videos uploaded on social media, chunks of the building are seen eaten away by fire while a huge cloud of smoke hovers behind it.
According to the initial investigation, the fire was caused by a failure in the maintenance of the building’s air-conditioning system. They are not looking into possible criminal involvement, reported Arab News.
