Karachi, Pakistan
Pakistani firefighters on Monday sifted through the smoldering wreckage of a vast shopping mall in Karachi, searching for more than 60 people still unaccounted for after a massive blaze that killed at least 14.
The fire broke out late Saturday at Gul Plaza, a multistory complex housing about 1,200 shops and spanning an area larger than a football field in the city’s historic center.
Rescue teams warned the remaining shell of the building was dangerously unstable and could collapse at any moment.
Police chief Javed Alam Odho said 14 people had been killed and about 60 others were still missing.
"It appears to have been caused by a circuit breaker,” Odho told reporters Sunday.
