Police have warned residents of Hamburg to close their windows today after a large fire engulfed two warehouses sending back smoke above the German city.
The fire broke out at around 4.30am in the Rothenburgsort district, which is located in the eastern part of Germany's second-largest city, news agency dpa said.
Chemical-laden smoke drifted towards the city centre, halting long-distance trains between Hamburg and Berlin as well as other major cities.
