A fire broke out in a new shopping center in the city of Kut
A fire that broke out in a new shopping center in the city of Kut, located in the eastern part of Iraq, has deeply saddened the entire population of the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to AFP, at least 77 people have died as a result of this fire, and many others have been injured to varying degrees. The shopping center had opened just five days ago, and the unexpected disaster occurred on Wednesday night.

The fire quickly engulfed the entire building, and people tried to escape by climbing onto the roof. Emergency services and firefighters worked tirelessly to bring the fire under control.

Search operations for the missing are currently ongoing. Videos reflecting the severity of the fire have spread on local television and social media.

Paramedics continue to transport the injured to hospitals. The city's residents and the relatives of the victims are still struggling to cope with the impact of the incident.

They are waiting for official information about their missing loved ones. Local doctor Nasir al-Kurashi commented on the disaster: “We never expected such an event.

We had come to the center for dinner with our family. The air conditioner on the second floor exploded, and the fire started.

People could not escape the building and perished.” The city of Kut is located 160 kilometers southeast of Baghdad. Since the fire occurred in the city center, the tragedy affected many people.

Emergency services, doctors, and law enforcement agencies are working to assist the victims and mitigate the consequences of the disaster. Investigations are ongoing, but it is clear that this disaster has left a deep mark on Iraqi society.
