Around 10 o'clock in the morning there was a large fire on the second floor of the mall Sahil, which is over the subway station of the same name. Within half an hour the fire spread to four stores , although firefighters arrived at the scene a few minutes later .
According to witnesses , the fire originated on one of the stores because of a short circuit.
Smoke started to fell from one window, but before it was extinguished , the fire spread to other shops in the neighborhood and around the floor. Several fire brigades fought the fire for a long time , but it was ineffective.
Fire authorities and MOE arrived at the scene.
On the upper floor there are many people who are worried about the situation and were afraid to go.
We note that the apartments in this building are among the most expensive in Baku. The owners of the burnt shops were caused enormous damage and many of them tried to break inside and so they arose clashes with police. On the scene there is a crowd of several hundred people and a rapid response police regiment of Baku.
The fire was quenched about 11:00, but the smoke continued for some time.
As reported by Turan from the MOE, there were no injuries . MOE also confirmed that the preliminary cause of the fire was a short circuit in the electrical network . - 02B -

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
