A fire erupted at Manila’s historic post office building, a significant landmark in the Philippines. The blaze broke out last night, causing severe damage to the structure. Seven people, including five firefighters, one aid volunteer, and one civilian, were injured during the seven-hour-long firefighting operation. The estimated property damage to the building is around 300 million pesos ($5.3 million). Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, focusing on the basement, which is the main mail distribution center.
