MEXICO CITY—A fire struck Mexico City’s downtown subway headquarters early on Saturday, officials said, as smoke billowed out of the multi-story building roof, causing at least one death as well as light injuries.

Six lines of the capital’s sprawling subway lines were knocked offline due to the fire, which was believed to be caused by an electricity failure.
