A car was destroyed and another was extensively damaged this evening as a result of fire thought to have started in a nearby skip.

The blaze, in St Christopher Street, Valletta, was noticed at about 8 p.m. Policemen who rushed to the scene were unable to put the flames out using fire extinguishers.

The fire brigade eventually extinguished the fire, which had by that time almost totally destroyed a Fiat Uno and extensively damaged a BMW. Both cars were parked alongside the same pavement.

Police investigations are under way. No one was injured.
