Gagauzia gas cylinder explosion injures two people
A gas cylinder explosion occurred on Monday morning in the village of Tomai, located in the Gagauzia region of Moldova. The incident was reported to emergency services at 07:13.
According to the General Assembly of Emergency Situations (IGSU), the deflagration was caused by a propane-butane gas leak from a defective cylinder inside a summer kitchen. The blast damaged the ceiling, window, and entrance door of the 15-square-meter structure, though no house fire broke out.
Two individuals, a 70-year-old woman and her 62-year-old brother, sustained first and second-degree burns to their faces and arms. Both victims were transported to a regional hospital for medical treatment. Specialists are working to establish the exact circumstances of the incident.
