3 dead in Ukraine house blast (video)
Gas leak is reportedly to blame for the blast that killed three and injured five people at the Ukrainian city of Nikolayev.
Residents said they had reportedly smelled gas ahead of the incident and that the owner of the flat had even called a gas emergency service. However, the chief engineer from Nikolayev Gas suggested an explosive substance could have been inside one of the flats, reports UNIAN. He also noted that a typical gas smell could not be sensed at the site of the incident. He suggested that gas leak should be ruled out.
The blast destroyed three top storeys in a nine-story residential high-rise.
