COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A fire broke out Tuesday at an office building belonging to Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the third in a little more over a month to hit the drugmaker.

There were no reports of injuries and police said the blaze was under control.

Flames were seen at the top of a three-story building in Bagsvaerd in suburban Copenhagen. The cause of the fire was being investigated.

Danish media said neighbors heard a large explosion in connection with the fire. Firefighters said on the social media platform X that the blasts “presumably” were caused by gas canisters on the roof that exploded.
