Just got SMS from friend telling me that Kuwait Towers on fire and the firemen are there right now. Any one can confirm it?

Thanks Ali

UPDATE:

Kuwait Towers got evacuated right now and two persons got injured during the evacuation.

UPDATE II:

it was electric short circuit at the control room at the base of the water tank tower (the one with single sphere). There was no fire anywhere else.
The only problem there is now no electricity for the whole block .. even the nearby restaurants.

Thanks reemas

UPDATE III:

Seems to be settled now.

Thanks Amanda

    You can follow the fire story on KUNA. Seems to be settled now. There was another fire a few years ago I remember.
