A fire broke out early Wednesday morning in two warehouses belonging to the Aqaba Logistics Company in the southern region. According to the news site "Ammon," the warehouses contained flammable materials, car tires, and electrical devices, and the fire spread over a large area before firefighting teams arrived to extinguish it. A source in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone stated that the head of the Aqaba Authority, Naif Hamidi Al-Fayez, arrived at the scene to oversee the handling of the incident.
The source clarified that the cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and an investigation into the incident will be opened, noting that the losses were limited to the goods, and their magnitude cannot be assessed at this time.
