A blaze erupted in a skyscraper under construction late on March 2, 2023, in Tsim Sha Tsui, a major Hong Kong shopping district. No injuries related to the fire were immediately reported. The building site is a redevelopment of the former Mariners’ Club, which opened in 1967 and was demolished in 2018. Three neighbouring buildings also caught fire but were put out quickly.
