At least 20 people were injured, including the head of Iraq’s civil defence directorate, after a commercial building in the capital Baghdad caught fire and collapsed Sunday, a state news agency reported.

No deaths were reported. No information was immediately available on the cause of the blaze. The civil defence announced late Sunday evening that the fire had been fully extinguished and first responders were searching for missing people at the scene.
