Firefighters battled the blaze at a civilian industrial site without a dedicated water supply.

  • The attack ignited more than 5,000 square meters of warehouse space storing textiles and packaging materials, injuring one person.
  • The State Emergency Service said a vehicle burned and crews maintained water flow from nearby sources because the site lacked a dedicated supply, with 56 firefighters and 16 appliances deployed.
