A fire at the "Arlis" residential-commercial complex in Tirana injured at least 11 people, including firefighters. One woman was hospitalized with burn injuries, and five individuals were admitted to the Toxicology Clinic due to smoke inhalation.

The blaze struck the northeastern section of the building from the ground floor to the upper levels. More than 50 firefighters from Tirana and other cities, along with military personnel, battled the fire. Helicopters were deployed to help evacuate residents.

Albania's Emergency Services director Arben Kara said the fire had been brought under control to prevent further spread, but intervention was ongoing due to remaining hotspots in the apartments. The exact casualty count and total property damage were still being determined.
