A skyscraper in Milan has been consumed by flames this evening, with video from the scene showing the extent of the danger.

Local media reported that it is not yet clear whether anyone has been injured in the blaze.

Milano.it said the Torre dei Moro is believed to have been vulnerable due to cladding on the outer walls.

They said rescuers are on site of the 16-storey building, as well as police.

The paper reported that around 70 families were evacuated shortly after the fire broke out on an upper floor.
