Earlier on October 15, 2025, a massive fire broke out in a candle warehouse in Karachi’s Shershah area, destroying over 25 houses and several motorcycles parked in nearby streets.

According to officials, the blaze, which erupted in a densely populated locality, spread rapidly due to the presence of oil and other flammable materials, engulfing nearby clothing and scrap warehouses as well.
