A powerful explosion shook a residential building in the Annedal area of Gothenburg at around 5 am local time. The toll is 25 people involved in the accident, of which four were seriously injured. This was reported by the Swedish news agency TT. Emergency services are still working to put out the flames, which have spread to several apartments, with the area completely cordoned off. “We thought we could go out in the stairwell, because we live below, but it wasn’t possible – says one of the residents of the condominium – We then thought of jumping out of the balcony and getting help from the neighbor below, who welcomed us” . “I went out to the balcony and was shocked. There was smoke everywhere, ”said Anja Almen, one of the tenants of the building. She and the other villagers found refuge in a nearby church. At the moment the cause of the explosion is not known, but the police have started preliminary investigations and will enter the building once the flames are under control, TT again reports.
