A fire gutted a tobacco shop in the south‑west Victorian town of Cobden, causing damage to three other nearby businesses and prompting the closure of local roads. The tobacco store, which had opened only two months ago, was the primary victim of the blaze. Authorities responded to the incident and closed Cobden Road to traffic while emergency crews worked to control the fire and assess the damage. The incident has left several shop owners without access to their premises, and the town’s main thoroughfare remains closed pending further investigation.
