RAS AL KHAIMAH // Three bodies have been found in a sponge and paper tissues warehouse that burned down on Sunday near RAK mall.

The bodies were discovered by employees of the warehouse during the cleanup. The Ras Al Khaimah civil defence were alerted and dispatched to the scene.

According to sources close to the investigation, the bodies were burnt beyond recognition.

Firefighters from four civil defence stations managed to control the blaze on Sunday before it spread to adjacent warehouses.
