A fire engulfed three Adil Stores warehouses in Beira's Maquinino neighborhood, containing construction materials for post-Idai reconstruction. The blaze began around 3:00 a.m. and quickly spread due to highly flammable materials. Firefighters faced challenges due to fuel shortages, and the owner had to supply fuel for firefighting efforts. Additional firefighting teams later arrived, but the flames persisted, spreading to other warehouses. The fire's origin remains unknown, and there have been no reported injuries. The affected materials were part of a recent tender worth 130 million meticais for post-cyclone reconstruction.
