"An explosion in a bar in the Spanish capital Madrid on Saturday injured at least 25 people, authorities said. The emergency services said two of the victims were in a "serious" and three in a "potentially serious" condition. Local media reported that the blast, which occurred at the "Mis Tesoros" bar at 3 p.m. (0100 GMT) in the Puente de Vallecas district of Madrid, was due to a gas leak."
"But Inmaculada Sanz, deputy mayor and delegate for security and emergencies at Madrid town hall, said that it was still "too early to predict what the cause of the explosion could have been." Sanz told reporters that authorities have ruled out more victims being trapped under the rubble. She added that the residents of the nine housing units that formed part of the building "will have to be rehoused for at least a few days.""
