The world-famous Hilton Hotel located in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, was deliberately set on fire by insurgents on September 10. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the local Khabarhub publication, the incident occurred at night. Although firefighting efforts were carried out, it was impossible to save the building due to the premeditated attack.
Videos distributed by India's ANI news agency showed the hotel completely burned and reduced to ashes. According to sources, insurgents became enraged after rumors spread that the Hilton Hotel was connected to the son of the leader of Nepal Congress, the ruling party.
For this reason, the act of setting the building on fire may have been carried out. This event is one of the major fires that occurred within the framework of the "Z generation" insurgencies in Nepal.
Earlier, the government house located in Kathmandu and the Singha Durbar palace, considered a national symbol, were also set on fire. This situation indicates an increase in political and social instability in the country.
Setting large buildings on fire expresses the insurgents' protest against the government and its representatives. Rapid measures are necessary to stabilize the situation in the region.
Currently, local authorities and security forces are investigating the incident and taking measures against those responsible.
