At least five people were killed after a gas cylinder exploded at a bakery in Baraki Square in Afghan capital last night, the provincial police spokesman Ferdaws Faramarz said.
Fire fighters battled the blaze and prevented it but it had burned five people, the spokesperson said.
Every year, liquid gas cylinder explosions lead to injuries or even deaths besides damage to the buildings and setting them ablaze.
Improper use of gas cylinders, stoves or other gas appliances, lack of people’s awareness on its dangers and/or gas leaks in presence of flame are the main causes which result in explosions.
