Massive fire rips through Dubai's Torch Tower

A massive fire has engulfed one of the world's tallest residential buildings, The Marina Torch, in Dubai on Thursday night.

The

local government said on Twitter the building has been evacuated and

firefighting squads from four Civil Defense stations have been deployed

to battle the raging blaze.

There have been no reports of casualties so far.

This

is the second time the 79-storey skyscraper has caught fire. In 2015,

the building was damaged by a massive fire that injured 14 people.
