A fire was reported from JA Manafaru Maldives, a private island in the north of the Maldives.
Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) said that its Northern Area Command received a report of the fire at around 3:35am on Sunday, adding that a fire team was dispatched there.
The fire was controlled by 5:25am.
MNDF said that the fire broke out inside a warehouse located at the resort’s powerhouse, adding that it led to an island-wide electricity cut.
While a generator, panel board and a water plant in the next building were damaged in the fire, no injuries were reported.
JA Manafaru Maldives was opened in November 2014, about a year after the Dubai-based international hospitality company JA Resorts & Hotels took ownership.
