At least 77 injured after cafe explosion in Spain

More than 70 people have been injured after gas explosion in Malaga during a festival yesterday.

The explosion occurred at around 7 PM on Saturday in Velez-Malaga, a small town neighboring Malaga, a popular tourist destination in Spain's southern Andalusia region.

Video posted on social media shows people running from flames inside the building in Velez-Malaga yesterday evening, with the street outside covered in debris.

Five people were seriously injured and taken to a hospital in Velez-Malaga and in the city of Malaga.

The blast caused some of the La Bohemia cafe's walls and counters to collapse, injuring people inside.

Russell capped BU's scoring by fitting in the 15-yard strike to Platt in the end zone with 5:14 left in the final quarter. The reason the Cowboys had such great ball control was a rushing attack that worked as well as it has in years.

Most of the wounded suffered cuts and bruises but at least five people were seriously hurt.

The mayor confirmed that officials will conduct an investigation into the cause of the blast, but stressed that the cafe had all the relevant safety certificates.

Because of a lack of ambulances, some patients had to be taken to hospital in police cars.

But the chef who warned customers at the restaurant emerged as the real hero as he managed to avert serious injuries, or even deaths.
