Firefighters in Lebanon’s capital said Tuesday they put out a fire at a building under construction, in what was the third blaze to hit the city since a massive explosion at the port.
The building, located about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) away from the city’s port in central Beirut, was designed by the renowned late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid.
Footage shared on social media showed black clouds of smoke billowing off of bright red flames that climbed up the side of the curvaceous building with latticed covering.
