Fifty homes destroyed in massive blaze in Semporna

Some 50 homes are reported to have been destroyed in the fire.

KOTA KINABALU: A massive fire broke out at Kampung Simunul in Semporna, one of the major locations of the 2013 Sulu army intrusion in Lahad Datu.

Hundreds of people were seen fleeing their homes and attempting to save their belongings as strong winds aided the fire, which started at 7.30pm Saturday, to rapidly spread throughout the village.
