A massive aquarium has burst in Berlin, spilling one million litres of water and 1,500 tropical fish on to the lobby of a hotel and nearby streets, writes SkyNews.

Two people were injured by flying glass, according to the emergency services, as the 25m-high tank exploded. Hundreds of hotel guests had to be evacuated.

The attraction, called the Aquadom, was the world’s biggest freestanding cylindrical tank.

Water flooded from the complex, which also holds a museum, shops and cafes, into Karl Liebknecht Strasse, a major road, which was closed after the incident.

The road and pavements outside the complex were littered with debris.
