A camp housing 1,500 migrants in northern France has been destroyed in a fire that officials said began during a fight between Afghans and Kurds, BBC reports.

As a result of the fire at least 10 people were injured. The fire tore through closely-packed huts at the Grande-Synthe camp, near the port of Dunkirk.

"There is nothing left but a heap of ashes," said Michel Lalande, prefect of France's Nord region.

To note, last month officials said the camp would be dismantled because of unrest.
