The fire has caused significant damage to the affected houses, but fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far. Authorities are currently assessing the extent of the property damage and will provide further updates as the situation unfolds.
Local sources suggest that the fire may have started from an unknown source, although the exact cause is still under investigation.
