As a result of the incident, the injured were urgently transported to the hospital, where they are receiving necessary medical assistance. The explosion also caused a fire that spread over an area of about 300 square meters.
Rescue services successfully extinguished the fire and continue to clear the debris formed after the roof collapsed over an area of about 200 square meters. Currently, an inspection of the damaged structures is underway, and measures are being taken to prevent possible re-ignition.
The preliminary cause of the explosion, according to information from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, was a violation of safety regulations for the use of gas equipment, specifically concerning household gas cylinders.
The explosion occurred in a one-story café late on Friday evening. Rescuers who arrived at the scene faced intense open flames, which complicated the firefighting process.
