A huge fire swept through a shopping complex containing nearly 1,500 shops in Bangladesh's capital of Dhaka, officials said on Saturday as firefighters and soldiers struggled to put out the blaze with smoke hampering rescue efforts.
There were no casualties reported so far, but it was unknown how many people could have been trapped inside as the blaze erupted in the early hours of the morning, before most shops had opened.
It was the second such incident this month.
