( RIA Novosti ) - The death toll following Saturday's household gas explosion in Dnepropetrovsk in south-central Ukraine has risen to 14, the Ukrainian Emergency Situations Ministry said Monday.
The blast, which occurred on October 13 in a nine-storey building in Ukraine's third-largest city located to the south of Kiev, caused a section of the building to collapse and damaged ten neighboring buildings.
The ministry said 17 people, including three children, remain in hospital, and rescuers are searching for eight missing people.
