Copenhagen's historic old stock exchange building is in flames. Its iconic spire has collapsed onto the roof. A fire tore through Copenhagen's 17th-century old Stock Exchange, one of Danish capital's most iconic buildings, on Tuesday. The blaze engulfed its iconic 54-meter spire that collapsed onto the roof, but no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is unknown.  According to city police, several streets and the area around the building have been cordoned off. Police asked people to avoid driving in the inner part of the city. Footage showed people rescuing large paintings from the burning building. Thick smoke and towering flames billowed from the structure. Danish Culture Minister Jakon Engel-Schmidt said it was "touching" to see how passers-by helped emergency services "to save art treasures and iconic images from the burning building." What do we know about the building? The historic building, whose spire was shaped as the tails of four dragons intertwined, was completed in 1625 and is one of the oldest in Copenhagen.  The Dutch Renaissance-style building no longer houses the Danish Stock Exchange, but serves as the headquarters of the Danish Chamber of Commerce. "We are witnessing a terrible spectacle," the Danish Chamber of Commerce said in a statement. The building had been under renovation when the fire broke out. It is covered in scaffolding. The aim of the restoration is to correct the previous work carried out in the 19th century and to restore the facade of the building to its original appearance.

The soldiers were part of a southern African peacekeeping mission sent to help government forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo fight M23 rebels. Mortar fire in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) killed three Tanzanian soldiers who were part of a Southern African peacekeeping mission sent to help government forces fight M23 rebels, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) said on Monday. "This unfortunate incident happened after a hostile mortar round had fallen near the camp they were staying at," the 16-member bloc said in a statement. Three other Tanzanian soldiers were wounded, it added. The statement added that another South African soldier on the SADC mission had died while receiving treatment for unspecified health problems at a hospital in the provincial capital, Goma. It was not clear if that death was related to the mortar round. The force includes soldiers from regional military heavyweights South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi.  The SADC mission suffered its first losses in mid-February, when two South African soldiers were killed and three wounded by a mortar bomb. What is the SADC mission doing in DRC? After several years of dormancy, the predominantly Tutsi M23 (March 23 Movement) group took up arms again in late 2021. It has seized large swaths of DR Congo's North Kivu province, which has been wracked by violence in the decades since regional wars in the 1990s. The Democratic Republic of Congo, the United Nations and Western countries accuse Rwanda of supporting the rebels in a bid to control the region's vast mineral wealth, a charge Rwanda denies. The regional bloc SADC sent soldiers to North Kivu province in December to help the government tackle instability and armed groups in the restive eastern region. The SADC mission was to take over from an East African peacekeeping force, whose mandate was ended by the DRC, which accused it of colluding with the rebels instead of fighting them. Meanwhile, the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) is also winding down. The 15,000 UN troops began leaving in February at the request of the DRC government, which considers them ineffective.
