Blast at a kid's retail shop in Moscow
An explosion occurred at Russia's largest children's store, "Detsky Mir," located in the city centre of Moscow. The incident resulted in one death and three injuries, prompting an immediate evacuation of the building.
The state news agency Tass reported on the explosion, citing the civil defense, and continues to provide updates as the investigation unfolds. The explosion was caused by a gas leak from a gas cylinder on the third floor of the multi-story building.
However, the cause of the gas leak remains unclear beyond the initial suspicion of a technical malfunction. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has expressed similar sentiments, suspecting a technical malfunction as the possible cause.
Authorities have launched a criminal investigation in relation to the explosion at the Detsky Mir store in Moscow. The investigation does not specify a target at this stage, but it is being conducted independently from the initial investigations by the civil defense.
The investigation is ongoing by the relevant authorities, and no further details about the identity of the victims or the exact cause of the gas leak have been released. Any possible connection to the war in Ukraine was not discussed in relation to the investigation.
The building where the explosion occurred remains evacuated, and no information about when it will be safe to return has been provided. The authorities have initiated a criminal investigation, but it has not been specified who is being investigated for the explosion in the Detsky Mir store in Moscow.
The public is urged to stay informed as more details become available. This incident is under further investigation by the relevant authorities.
