Mysterious explosion
Some of those in the vehicles required intervention to be rescued after they were trapped inside. The authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the explosion. It is believed to be due to a gas leak, especially with residents reporting leaks and strange smells in the area. The company that runs the gas pipeline in the area denied that the gas was the cause of the explosion, and said that there was no sign of it leaking. Authorities have called on residents to avoid the area due to safety concerns.
The video shows a number of pedestrians who ran in fear towards a nearby building due to the sudden explosion.
Footage from the aftermath of the explosion showed a huge hole in the street and a huge crack in the asphalt.
An emergency services spokesman said 11 people were wounded in the blast.
