A major fire broke out in a shopping mall in Karachi, Pakistan, resulting in at least 11 deaths and over 60 missing people. The fire, which started late Saturday night, burned for more than 24 hours, hindering rescue efforts. Firefighters faced difficulties due to a lack of ventilation in the building, which filled with thick smoke. There are reports of a delayed response from the fire department and equipment shortages. The structure of the building is unstable and there is a risk of further collapse.
