Explosion at Madrid Bar Leaves 25 Injured: Gas Leak Suspected
In a shocking incident in Spain’s capital, an explosion tore through a popular bar in Madrid, injuring at least 25 people on Saturday afternoon. The blast happened around 3 p.m. at the Mis Tesoros bar in the bustling Puente de Vallecas district, sending shockwaves through the neighborhood.
Emergency teams rushed to the scene and confirmed the injuries, with two victims in serious condition and three others facing potentially life-threatening situations. Brave firefighters even rescued four people from the rubble, highlighting the quick response amid the chaos.
Local authorities, including Carlos Marin from the Madrid City Council Fire Department, pointed to a possible gas leak as the cause of the Madrid bar explosion. "It’s linked to gas, but we’re still investigating the exact type and trigger," Marin told reporters. Deputy Mayor Inmaculada Sanz added that it’s too soon to pinpoint the full reason behind the blast, but good news is no one else remains trapped under the debris.
The explosion’s impact went beyond the bar itself. The building now stands unstable, with severe damage to the entrance area blocking all access. While some upper apartments escaped major harm, nine nearby housing units have been affected, forcing residents to seek temporary accommodation for a few days.
As investigations continue into this Madrid explosion, officials urge caution in the area. Updates on the victims’ conditions and the exact cause of the gas leak will follow as more details emerge. Stay tuned for the latest on this developing story from Spain.
