At least 25 people were injured after an explosion was hit by a bar in Madrid on Saturday, the local authorities said. According to DW, the explosion took place at about 3pm at the Mis Tesoros Bar in the Puente de Vallecas district of Spain’s capital. Referring to local media, DW reported that a gas leak may have caused the explosion. Carlos Marin, head of the Madrid City Council, said the explosion was linked to gas, but the type and exact cause was still unclear. Emergency services confirmed that two victims were in a ‘serious’ condition and that there was allegedly in a ‘potentially serious’ state. Firefighters took four people out of the rubble. Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Inmaculada Sanz said it was “too early” to confirm the reason behind the explosion, but said no further victims were caught. She added that residents of nine housing units in the same building need temporary accommodation over the next few days. Authorities said the building remains unstable. While some upper apartments were left intact, the entrance area was severely damaged, which made access to ‘completely impossible’, Marin said, according to DW.
