Firefighters were reported to be searching for people inside the Rixos Khan Shatyr Residences as the cladding on the high-rise was burning.

There was no initial information about casualties in the tower where luxury flats currently sell for up to £611,000.

The fire started on the top floor or roof of the residential and offices building, according to reports.
