The UAE has offered its condolences to Pakistan following a fire at a shopping centre in Karachi that killed at least 21 people and left more than 60 missing.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its solidarity and sympathy to the victims' families, the government, and the people of Pakistan following this tragedy.

The city's biggest fire in over a decade started late on Saturday at Gul Plaza, which houses around 1,200 shops in a multi-storey building, with the fire raging for more than 24 hours before it was mostly extinguished, according to Reuters.
