France explosion: At least seven killed after blast and fire in Pyrénées town
Euronews says several people have died in southwestern France after an explosion and fire ripped through a residential street.
The powerful blast occurred on Sunday night in the town of Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque near the Spanish border, authorities said.
The explosion caused a fire in three small buildings on one of the Pyréneés town’s main streets. The bodies of seven people — including a baby and another child — have so far been pulled from the rubble.
One man was wounded after jumping from a second-storey floor to escape the flames, with at least thirty others suffering minor injuries.
