Massive fire breaks out in Qatar World Cup city near fan village as plume of black smoke rises into the sky

A huge fire has broken out in the World Cup city of Lusail in Qatar, with plumes of black smoke rising into the sky right next to one of the country’s fan villages.

The huge tower of smoke can be seen rising across the fan village, named Qetaifan Island North, although exactly where the fire originated is still unclear. 

Authorities said the Civil Defense controlled a fire in a building under construction without any injuries.

They seeked to reassure fans and residents in a tweet posted just after 10am. 

Video posted on social media showed that the fire was visible from miles away.
