Firefighters are tackling a blaze at a high-rise block of flats in Glasgow.

Smoke could be seen coming from one of the top floors of the building in Ballater Street in the Gorbals area of the city.

Emergency services were called to scene at around 8.45am on Thursday.

The fire broke out exactly a year after the Grenfell disaster in London.
