New Year's Eve revellers have been evacuated from a busy bar after a huge fire broke out.
Kremlin, a popular nightspot in central Belfast, will no longer open for the traditional celebrations.
It is unclear if anyone has been hurt and, if so, to what extent, Belfast Live reports.
In a statement, the owners stated: "Due to a serious fire at Kremlin this evening, we will no longer be opening tonight. Thankfully everybody was evacuated without injury and we'd like to thank NIFRS for their quick response.
"We'll update you with further details when available and we apologise for the inconvenience on this of all nights."
