A powerful explosion has damaged a building in the centre of the Czech capital, Prague, injuring up to 40 people.
Authorities say they believe some people are buried in the rubble. Police
spokesman Tomas Hulan says it is not certain what caused the blast in
Divadelni Street, but it was likely a natural gas explosion.
The
street was covered with rubble and has been sealed off by police who
have also evacuated people from nearby buildings and closed a wide area
around the explosion site.
Zdenek Schwarz, head of the rescue service in Prague, says up to 40 people have been injured.
Windows in buildings located hundreds of metres from the blast were shattered, including some in the nearby National Theatre.
The explosion was heard as far as Prague Castle about a
mile (1.6 km) across the Vltava river.
A
police spokesman said that there had been about 15 people in the
building, which included an office of the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) and an art gallery.
Firefighters spokeswoman Pavlina Adamcova says at least 13 people have been injured.
