An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the incident. For the moment, the police can only confirm that an explosion took place and that a fire broke out.

The fire brigade responded quickly. Once on site, they found no fire but traces of an explosion. Although the house had suffered damage, it was not declared uninhabitable.
