In a sad incident in Karachi (Pakistan), four firefighters died after a massive fire broke out in an apparel manufacturing unit.
As per the officials, almost 12 people have also been injured in this incident in the southern Pakistan port city.
Officials said that several firefighting vehicles were dispatched to the scene in an industrial area of the city, where many factories are located.
Various media reports quoted local police that the cause of the blaze, which ripped through the factory Wednesday night and eventually caused it to collapse, was not immediately known.
Earlier, heavy gray smoke suddenly rose from the unit and firefighters had almost extinguished the blaze when the collapse occurred.
