ROSARIO: At least eight persons were killed and 61 others injured when a powerful blast from a gas leak ripped through a 10-story apartment building in Argentina’s third largest city.
Moreover, at least 15 persons were still missing as hundreds of firefighters and rescuers searched the rubble of the edifice that was in danger of collapse, city officials in Rosario said.
“There are eight dead. The search in the rubble will continue all night,” Mayor Monica Fein told reporters.
Rosario’s health ministry declared an emergency, calling all dispatchers into action.
