Two buses were destroyed by fire while in motion in the Mirpur locality, according to reports reaching emergency services. Fire crews were deployed to the scene to extinguish the blazes and prevent the spread of flames to nearby structures.
The incidents occurred during the daytime, affecting both vehicles within the densely populated Mirpur district. No immediate details were available regarding the number of passengers aboard the buses or whether any injuries were sustained in the events.
Authorities have cordoned off the affected areas to facilitate fire suppression and investigation work. Initial reports suggest mechanical failure may have been a contributing factor, though officials have not ruled out other possibilities.
Fire service personnel remained at the scene to conduct preliminary investigations and gather evidence. The exact cause of the simultaneous incidents is expected to be determined following a full technical examination of the vehicle wreckage.
