In Doha, a large column of smoke has darkened the sky over the city since this morning. According to the Associated Press, collecting information from the Qatari authorities, a fire broke out in a building under construction. No injuries reported so far.
Qatar’s interior ministry said the fire started shortly after noon local time on an island that is part of the city of Lusail. The latter hosts several matches during the tournament, including a match between Argentina and Mexico on Saturday night.
The fire broke out about 3.5 kilometers from the Lusail stadium, reports the US press agency. From the center of Doha, the supporters of this World Cup, also denounced for its human and ecological cost, were able to observe the great column of black smoke.
