Explosion in Spanish building kills three
An explosion early Saturday caused a building to collapse in the northern Spanish city of Santander, killing three people, emergency services said. The incident occurred around 4:00 am (0200 GMT) in a small residential building.
The cause of the blast is still unknown and the explosion sparked a fire, said Gema Igual, mayor of Santander, capital of the Cantabria region. "The building had a ground floor and two floors, where there could have been
around 20 residents," Igual said. Residents from neighbouring buildings were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
