gas explosion
Is there another source reporting that?
Edit: this is probably a side effect of federation, but at least four people have confirmed it’s most likely a gas leak.
CBS is now reporting that citing the district mayor. Looks like the injury count is up to 16 as well
Tagesschau in German news reported gas explosion as well.
Witnesses reported smelling gas before it happened. BBC news report stated.
A student at Ecole des Mines on Boulevard Saint-Michel told Le Parisien: “I was in front of the Val de Grâce, I heard a huge boom and I saw a ball of fire 20 or 30m high. And the building collapsed with a huge noise. I smelled gas, but took several minutes to come to my senses.”
France Info says gas as well
I mean it was my assumption, just didn’t see it in the article I linked, which is the one I read
“The explosion took place at around 5 p.m., in the 5th arrondissement of the capital. According to an initial report from the Préfecture de Police, at least sixteen people were injured, seven of them seriously.”
