A significant fire erupted this morning in the main market of Jowhar, the largest commercial hub in the city. The blaze started in the Hantiwadaag area and has rapidly spread across various parts of the market, engulfing numerous businesses.
Local reports indicate that the fire has caused extensive damage, destroying many commercial establishments. The intensity of the blaze has mobilized a large number of individuals, including market vendors and local residents, who are working tirelessly to control the fire. Despite their efforts, the fire remains strong and continues to threaten additional areas of the market.
The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and no official assessment of the damages has been provided. The incident is part of a troubling pattern, as several markets in Somalia have experienced similar fires in recent times.
Authorities and emergency services are on-site to manage the situation and prevent further damage.
