On 5 August, a powerful fire broke out at a fruit and vegetable market in Ajman (UAE), engulfing an industrial zone. This is reported by Khaleej Times.
Ajman's Civil Defence urged motorists to use alternative routes. Sources told the outlet: "Ajman firefighters cordoned off the area and used water and foam to extinguish the fires that broke out in several shops."
Eyewitness footage shows several fire engines rushing to the scene. Four civil defence centres are taking part in fighting the flames. The cause of the fire, as well as any possible casualties, is not yet known.
On 4 August, at the port of Beirut an explosion occurred, killing at least 100 people and injuring more than 4,000. Lebanese authorities said the disaster was caused by the explosion of ammonium nitrate in one of the warehouses following a fire.
The exploded nitrate had been brought to Beirut almost 7 years ago aboard a ship belonging to a Russian businessman. As a result of the explosion, around 300,000 people were left homeless.
