(Baonghean.vn)- A fire broke out at a shrimp breeding facility in Hoang Mai town, causing hundreds of millions of dong in damage.

At about 2:45 a.m. on March 8, a fire broke out at CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company, Nghe An branch, located in Hamlet 1, Quynh Lien Commune, Hoang Mai Town.

The roof was burned down by the fire.
