TEHRAN, Apr 16 - Paris’s Notre-Dame Cathedral has gone up in flames, leaving the nation awestruck and prompting fears that the historic structure could suffer unprecedented damage.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The blaze erupted at around 16:30 GMT on Monday, causing the wood-and-lead spire to collapse onto the roof. Locals have been reported by various news agencies as saying that the entire rooftop has been destroyed in the fire.
Nobody was injured, Junior Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told Reuters at the scene.
"It's too early to determine the causes of the fire," he added, but France 2 television reported that the police were treating it as an accident.
The inferno broke out while the structure was undergoing renovation.
