Reports indicate several gas-related accidents involving leaks, fires, and explosions in Mexico and Argentina.

In Mexico, a refueling incident in Nuevo Laredo caused a flash fire when a gas hose detached from a delivery truck, injuring a resident and a worker. Later, in La Paz, a 17-year-old girl sustained first and third-degree burns after a gas cylinder exploded when a pot fell near the supply line, causing a leak.

In Argentina, emergency services in Caleta Olivia rescued two individuals from carbon monoxide poisoning. The incident was attributed to a gas leak from an oven and improper ventilation equipment.
