ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — A huge fire broke out in a landmark skyscraper in the downtown area of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, almost completely gutting the building but leaving no casualties.
The building was known as the Vjesnik tower after a popular newspaper that was published there until some 12 years ago. The fire started near the top of the 16-floor building and quickly spread downward, preventing some 100 firefighters from entering, Croatian media said.
