Police have ordered the evacuation of a neighbourhood in Luxembourg city after a massive blaze broke out on an industrial estate.

Footage captured today (September 14) shows a column of black smoke rising above the city – the home of many European Union institutions.

It is believed that a warehouse in the Hamm area caught fire around 10 am BST.

The filmer writes: "At first we thought it was a fire at LuxAairport but according to official sources it seems to be a warehouse located in Rue Haute and Rue de Bitburg."
