A fire has broken out in a 10-story residential building in Belgium, resulting in confirmed casualties.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing the Daily Mail, that the incident occurred in the Linkeroever district of Antwerp.
The blaze reportedly started on the 8th floor of the building, which houses approximately 200 residents. Authorities have confirmed that there are both fatalities and injuries, though the exact number of victims has not yet been disclosed.
Emergency services and firefighting crews remain on the scene to extinguish the flames and conduct search and rescue operations. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by local authorities. High-rise residential fires in urban centers like Antwerp often trigger significant emergency responses due to the density of the population and the structural challenges involved in firefighting operations at such heights.
