: Al Wahda Mall, one of the prominent shopping centres in the capital, has been closed on Wednesday after fire broke out from the mall.
Thick smoke disrupted mall operations. "We did not want to take any chance, considering the safety and secuirty of staff and customers. The mall was closed for inspections and would be reopened as soon as possible," the spokesman said.
Although the incident happened on Tuesday night, the mall was cordoned off by the police and civil defence on Wednesday.
A staff member at a shop in the mall said the fire erupted from a textile shop around 12:30am. "Some clothes were burned but the civil defence reached the spot and doused the fire immediately," he said.
Civil Defence and Police were not immediately avaiable for comment.
