A midnight blaze erupted in a 57-storey residential skyscraper located in Mumbai's Byculla area, according to a civic official.

The fire started in a 10th-floor flat of the Monte South building's A wing at the Khatao Mill Compound around 11:42 pm. Prompt actions were taken, with nine fire tenders and other firefighting vehicles mobilized to bring the situation under control by 2:45 am, the official confirmed.

Thankfully, no casualties were reported. The fire was confined to the 10th-floor flat but resulted in smoke filling the entire floor. Preliminary reports suggest the blaze may have been caused by a suspected short-circuit in a flat.
