Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 22
By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
Gas pipeline explosion on Feb. 21 has demolished three buildings in capital Tehran, killing at least five and injuring six more people.
Hossein Abbasi, the spokesman for Tehran Emergency Center, told Fars news agency that the explosion took place in Khalij (Gulf) neighborhood in southwestern Tehran on Tuesday.
According to the official, a group of residents of the three demolished buildings were left trapped under the rubble.
Just about one month ago following a disastrous incident at a shopping center in downtown Tehran several firefighters had been trapped and
eventually killed as the Plasco building came down after a huge fire engulfed the top floors of the 17-story building.
