One of the tallest residential buildings in Wales was evacuated due to a fire.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called to a kitchen blaze on the 15th floor of the Altolusso building in Cardiff city centre at 14:20 BST.

The 23-floor building, on Bute Terrace, was the tallest block of flats in Wales when completed in 2005.

An Altolusso spokesman said the building was evacuated though residents have now been allowed to return.

The cause of the fire has been recorded as an accident.

Bute Terrace has now re-opened between Mary Ann Street and Hayes Bridge Road, though traffic delays are still likely.
