A major fire broke out for unknown reasons on Friday (September 16th) in a skyscraper in the large city of Changsha in central China, state television CCTV reported. “Thick smoke escapes from the site and dozens of floors are prey to very violent flames”, the channel detailed. The city had already been hit by a building collapse in April.

No information was yet available on possible victims. According to several Chinese media, the fire started in a skyscraper housing the offices of the operator China Telecom. Photos released by CCTV show huge orange flames engulfing a building, while thick black smoke rises above the city of Changsha, which has a population of 10 million.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was still inside the building. Videos posted on social networks show one side of the skyscraper devoured by flames to its full height.
