A massive fire has ravaged an area of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, destroying more than 1,500 shantytowns and leaving thousands homeless.

The fire spread on Tuesday evening through a poor area of the capital where over 60,000 people live. After several hours of extinguishing work, the city's fire department states that the fire is extinguished, according to AFP.

No one is reported to have died in the flames.
