The water line, which was damaged in a blast near a National Security building in Shubra Al-Khaimah, has been repaired, an official said.

In press statements on Thursday, chairman of the water company in Qalubiya Moustafa Megahid said the the main water line in the area was damaged due to the huge blast.

Security forces and sappers secured the area, while the line was fixing, he noted.

The car exploded before security personnel reach it, leaving severe damages in the building, its external walls, as well as a number of nearby buildings, including the complex of courts and prosecution offices, an Azhar institute, Mohamed Ali Museum and a number of schools, investigations revealed.
