20 hurt in gas blast in historic Prague

Written By Unknown on Senin, 29 April 2013 | 17.52

A POWERFUL gas blast has ripped through a block of flats in Prague's historic centre, injuring about 20 people, rescuers say, adding that some people may be buried in the rubble of the damaged building.

Police have sealed off the area popular with tourists and evacuated people from several nearby houses, Prague police spokesman Tomas Hulan told Czech TV on Monday.

"We have treated up to 20 people, and we are trying to find out if there are people buried in the rubble," Prague emergency service spokeswoman Jirina Ernestova told AFP.

An AFP photographer at the scene saw dozens of people with cuts, likely sustained by shattered glass from windows along the debris-covered street.

"A gas blast seems to be the most likely cause. The explosion was rather massive and damaged windows in several streets," Hulan said.

Czech media quoted witnesses as saying they could smell gas in the street.
