The fire engulfed the commercial stores for selling furniture and home furnishings and a number of shops in the center of Naqum neighborhood.
The fire caused great material losses without causing any human casualties, one of the firefighters told Yemen Press Agency.
He explained that the cause of the fire was due to an electrical fault.
The Yemeni Civil Defence rushed fire engines and police to the scene, where firefighters were able to control the fire.
