A very strong explosion a few minutes ago in the city center, two dead. The reasons for what happened at the moment are unknown.
Very strong explosion in a very central area of Madrid. The Spanish capital hit by an unimaginable event. To the moment any track is excluded. Victims and a lot of damage in the area are feared surrounding. It is not yet clear whether or not there are victims, from the first testimonies we speak of three floors of a building literally gutted by the blast. Yes await implications in the next few hours about the extent of the explosion.
Some of the witnesses spoke of a fort rumor around 3 pm in a very central street of the city madrilena. It is thought of a gas leak, but too little is known about what happened. Near the building in the Toledo street there should also be a church and a church school. At the moment there is not much information about what happened. Further feedback is awaited. Hopefully there aren’t any victims, at the moment the situation in the area is a lot tesa, with the police on the spot to try to understand what happened and pay the first possible rescue.

Also on site mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martinez Almeida, who stated the following: “Allow me to make an assessment preliminary, with all precautions. It seems there has been explosion of gas in the residential building Parrocchia La Paloma. At least they have occurred two deaths“. Initial budget, provisional, for what appears to all intents and purposes, as declared by the mayor, as the cause of an explosion due to a gas leak. In any case, on the spot yes keep it going to seek, in the hope of not finding any other deaths.
