Fire Rages Uncontrolled at Mir Alam Boot Shop Complex in Kabul
Early Sunday morning, a fire broke out at the Mir Alam boot shop complex in Kabul’s Mandawi area. The blaze, which started around 4 a.m., continues to burn as of this report.
According to local sources, firefighting teams have been dispatched to the scene, but the fire’s intensity and the dense concentration of shops have slowed suppression efforts. Full control over the fire has not yet been achieved.
Residents say the complex is a key boot-selling center in Mandawi, and the fire could cause substantial financial losses to shopkeepers. However, no official figures on the extent of damages have been released so far.
The cause of the fire remains unclear, and Taliban authorities have yet to comment on the incident. Further investigations are ongoing to determine how the fire started.
