Reports of fire and explosions have prompted the evacuation of The Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday morning (January 7). Details regarding the incident remain scarce, including whether there have been any injuries.
Videos shared on social media platforms depict scenes of London Fire Brigade (LFB) personnel working to extinguish flames as sirens blare in the background. Plumes of dark smoke billow into the air, with part of the court’s facade facing Warwick Square appearing charred.
