A fire broke out Thursday at the COP30 climate summit, disrupting negotiations and forcing the evacuation of several buildings at the conference venue.

Officials said the blaze started in the pavilion area where side events are held, but was quickly brought under control.

Fire crews ordered a full-site evacuation for safety checks, leaving it unclear when talks would resume.

Earlier in the day, U.N. chief António Guterres urged countries to show flexibility and find agreement as the summit nears its close.
