Gas explosion destroys residential building
-------------------------------------------
A gas explosion destroyed a residential building in the south-east village
of Hrusovany nad Jevisovkou on Monday, injuring five people. Another
20 buildings were damaged by the blast, which shook the village around 5
a.m. Two of the victims were hospitalised with serious injuries; three
others were slightly hurt. The explosion started a fire which reduced the four-storey building to
rubble and damaged the roofs and walls of neighbouring structures. Firemen
are searching the rubble for clues to the exact cause of the blast.
