I det nordvestlige Frankrig brød der brand ud i spiren på Rouen-katedralen. Byens ikoniske Notre Dame-katedral er i øjeblikket under renovering, og tyk røg steg op fra spiren, der delvist er dækket af stillads. De franske brandmænd rykkede ud for at slukke ilden, og videooptagelser viser, at røgen ikke længere stiger fra spiren. Byens myndigheder meddelte, at branden var under kontrol, efter en sky af røg blev set stige fra den gotiske bygning fra det 12. århundrede. Rouen-katedralen er berømt for en række malerier af impressionisten Claude Monet. Vidner beskrev, hvordan røg steg op fra spiren, og mindede om den ødelæggende brand i 2019 i Notre Dame-katedralen i Paris. En brand brød ud i et presenning, der dækkede spiren på den berømte Rouen-katedral i Rouen, nordvestlige Frankrig, meddelte byens embedsmænd torsdag.
