Debris and smoke from deadly Madrid blast
At least two people died and eight were injured on Wednesday (January 20) when a building in central Madrid belonging to the Catholic Church was blown apart by an explosion, local authorities said.
One of the injured was in serious condition and transferred to hospital. A Church official said one church volunteer was missing.
Initial investigations suggested that the blast in Calle Toledo, a street leading out from the city center, had been caused by a gas leak, Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida said.
