A fire was successfully extinguished Monday early morning at the National Roma Information and Cultural Center (Országos Cigány Információs és Művelődési Központ) on Gyömrői út in Budapest's District X, reports hvg.hu.
Police suspect arson, as the fire seems to have started at several locations, and no flammable materials were stored in the building.
Two floors of the building were damaged, including the theater. No injuries were reported, as the building was empty. The fire department arrived quickly at the scene and quickly put the fire out.
