Residential gas explosion in Aubervilliers

Overview

A gas leak caused a violent explosion in a residential building in Aubervilliers, near Paris, on a Saturday night. The blast led to a partial building collapse, resulting in the death of a young child and injuring seven others. Among the injured were six family members and one passerby, with at least two individuals reported to be in “absolute urgency” or critical condition.

Emergency responders, including approximately 110 firefighters from the Paris Fire Brigade, worked to clear debris and search for victims. The Bobigny prosecutor’s office has opened a judicial investigation to determine the exact cause of the leak.

Following the incident, the Bangladeshi Embassy in France confirmed that the deceased child, identified as Nahil, was of Bangladeshi nationality. A delegation from the embassy is coordinating with local administration, while the local mayor has provided temporary shelter in a municipal building and a stadium for those displaced by the collapse.
