Mysterious blast in UP village triggers building collapse, kills 7

Seven persons, including three children aged between 5 and 12 years, were killed while seven others were seriously injured in a double-storey building collapse, triggered by a mysterious blast in Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda district late on Tuesday night, senior police officials said on Wednesday.

Initial police investigation suggested the building collapsed after a LPG cylinder exploded in the house but further probe is on to ascertain the exact cause.
