Fire has gutted an electoral commission building in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the violent run-up to a presidential vote.
The cause of the fire, which broke out overnight, has not been confirmed, and the scale of the damage is unclear.
Black smoke could still be seen over the site, a warehouse building, on Thursday morning.
The campaign to elect a successor to President Joseph Kabila on 23 December has been marred by deadly clashes.
The president’s mandate ended in 2016, but elections have been repeatedly delayed.
