A gas explosion tore through a 10-story apartment building in Saratov’s Leninsky district killing at least three people, including a child, Russia’s Emergency Ministry confirmed.
The blast collapsed part of the structure, with photos showing upper floors destroyed and debris scattered below. Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion moments before the collapse.
While gas blasts in Russia are often linked to aging Soviet-era infrastructure, officials said the building was erected in 2011 and is managed by Sovezdye+.
