A fire broke out on Monday morning (7 November) at a 35-story high-rise building in Dubai near the Burj Khalifa.
Social media videos depict flames engulfing the high-rise, located next to the world’s tallest building. The outer façade of the building is now seen to be covered with black char marks.
"Strong fire in the center of Dubai in the Downtown area. The high-rise of the Emaar company, the largest developer in the Arab world, is on fire."

The building is a part of a series of towers called 8 Boulevard Walk by Emaar, the state-backed developer in the emirate, according to The National newspaper.
There has been no information yet on whether anyone was injured in the blaze and Dubai police and civil defense have yet to acknowledge the fire, reported the Associated Press.
