Kharakhena : Un incendie ravage une trentaine de commerces sans faire de victimes

A violent fire broke out this Friday in Kharakhena, in the Saraya district, around 3:30 p.m., shortly after the weekly prayer. While no casualties were reported, the blaze caused significant material damage, reducing about thirty restaurants and businesses to ashes.

According to initial reports from the scene, the fire appears to have started in one of the shops on the site. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown at this stage. An investigation has been launched to determine the origin of the blaze.

Faced with the rapid spread of the flames, the local population mobilized in large numbers. Thanks to this swift and united response, the fire was brought under control around 4 p.m., thus preventing it from spreading further to other homes or surrounding infrastructure.

This fire once again highlights the vulnerability of commercial areas often built with flimsy materials and exposed to high fire risks.
