MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th April, 2019) London stands in sorrow with Paris, London mayor Sadiq Khan said on Monday, reacting to the massive fire at iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in the French capital.
"Heartbreaking scenes of Notre Dame cathedral in flames. London stands in sorrow with Paris today, and in friendship always. #NotreDame," Khan tweeted.
The blaze on the famed site started at about 6:50 p.m. local time (16:50 GMT). Photos on social media show massive plumes of brown smoke and thick ash filling the air above the medieval Catholic cathedral, a popular tourist spot. A clock on the facade of the cathedral and the building's roof have collapsed, a Sputnik correspondent said.
