A high-rise residential building in Tehran has collapsed after a blaze, Iranian state television reported Thursday.

Earlier, authorities said at least 25 people had been injured in the fire at the iconic Plasco building — which houses a major shopping center on its ground floor.

Police had previously blocked off streets around the 17-story structure, which was among the first high-rises built in the Iranian capital.

Live footage aired on the state-run Tasnim news agency showed the incident.
