Gas leak explosion in Iztapalapa injures several; one hospitalized

An explosion, believed to stem from a liquefied petroleum gas leak, rocked a home in Iztapalapa, Mexico City, on Monday morning. The blast occurred on Calle 6, between Calles 19 and 20, in the José López Portillo neighborhood, drawing emergency services to the scene. Initial reports indicated that three individuals sustained minor injuries and received on-site treatment, while others experienced nervous crises. Authorities later updated that one person required hospitalization, and five others were assessed by emergency responders. The response efforts were complicated by a bustling street market on Calle 19, which hindered the access of ambulances and emergency vehicles to the affected property. Civil Protection, firefighters, and the Secretariat of Citizen Security cordoned off the area to conduct safety checks and determine the cause of the incident.
