Fire 'spread rapidly' through a skyscraper in Dubai's world-famous Marina in the early hours of this morning.

Alarming footage showed flames climbing up the79-storey Torch Tower, a residential building popular with expats in the United Arab Emirates tourism hotspot.

Burning debris could be seen spiraling down to the ground below as firefighters desperately tackled the blaze.

The same skyscraper was devastated by fire in 2015 and the building's flammable cladding, which was similar to that used in Grenfell Tower, was blamed for fuelling the flames.

Horrified Dubai residents and tourists shared photos and videos of the flaming debris falling from the building.

The Torch Tower is the fifth tallest residential building in the world and stands at more than 330 metres (1,105 ft).

It became the tallest residential building in the world in 2011 but lost the record the following year to the neighbouring Princess Tower.

In February 2015 hundreds of residents were evacuated from the same building after it was engulfed in flames in the early hours of the morning.
