A house explosion in a Dallas suburb injured at least six people, authorities said Monday.
Plano Fire-Rescue responded to the 4400 block of Cleveland Drive after the explosion around 4:45 p.m., a department spokeswoman told Fox News. Three adults and three children were taken to hospital, but the extent of their injuries was not disclosed, Fox television channel KDFW-TV reported.

A resident was inside the house that exploded and the other five patients were residents of a nearby house, firefighters said. The explosion was felt a mile and a half from the Haggard Library, they said.
Images posted online showed debris strewn all over a residential area and what appeared to be a completely destroyed house.
“Here we go,” a police officer told KTVT-TV.

Investigators have not determined the cause of the explosion, officials said.
“All of a sudden I heard what I thought was my sliding glass door breaking,” neighbor Caroline Klobas told the newspaper. “And I just noticed that two photo frames on the wall fell off and the sound didn’t match. When my husband walked into our garage, the roof had collapsed.”
