Drone footage shows huge Malaysian coastal village fire
A fire in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo island has destroyed around 1,000 homes and left thousands displaced, the fire department has said.
The blaze broke out in the early hours of Sunday in one of Sabah's water villages, where people live in closely-packed wooden houses built on stilts.
The local police chief said 9,000 residents had been affected, but no deaths and injuries have been reported.
Narrow access paths reportedly made it difficult for the emergency services to reach the affected area, while strong winds fanned the flames as the fire raged.
