[Huat Zai]

A 16-meter (52-foot) aquarium has burst at a hotel in downtown Berlin, Germany, rescue services said on Friday.

More than 100 first responders had been called in to deal with the damage at the Radisson Blu in the German capital's Mitte district, the cause of which was still unclear, Berlin's fire service said.

"The aquarium is damaged, water is leaking. The situation is not clear at the moment," the Berlin fire brigade wrote on Twitter.

What do we know so far?

At around 5:45 a.m. local time (0445 GMT) there was a very loud noise and parts of the facade of the hotel where the aquarium was located flew onto the street, a police spokesman was reported as saying in local media outlet RBB.

Berlin's traffic agency VIZ said an extremely large volume of water had spilled over onto the street outside.

The area has been largely cordoned off while the street on which the hotel is located — Karl-Liebknecht Strasse — has been closed off.
