Thirty-five people were confirmed injured and hundreds were evacuated after an explosion caused by gas leaks rocked the area around Prague’s National Theater.

At least two of the injuries were serious after the explosion on Divadelni Street a few minutes before 10 a.m. in the Czech capital. Some 230 people were evacuated from the area as rescuers with sniffer dogs searched for people possibly trapped under debris in the partially collapsed building, Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda said today.
