A strong explosion, probably caused by a gas leak in a bakery, left four dead and 32 injured in central Paris on Saturday morning (12). The property, in the 9th district, was completely destroyed.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said that among the four dead were two firefighters. He also said that among the wounded, eight are in serious condition.
More than 200 firefighters and 100 police officers were deployed around 9 am (local time, 6 am in Brasilia) to get to the bakery, located at the intersection of Treviso and Sainte-Cécile . Cars and shop windows in neighboring establishments were also damaged.
Police sources told the French press that a gas leak had apparently triggered the blast.
The authorities were already on the alert because the capital and other French cities are facing new demonstrations from the yellow vests, who have already organized violent demonstrations on other occasions. .
In addition to Christophe Castaner, the prime minister, Édouard Philippe, and the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, visited the site.
