At least one person has died and up to 15 others have been injured in a "huge" explosion in a block of flats in Barcelona, Spain.
The explosion ripped through the second floor flat of a residential building in Premia de Mar, a coastal resort which sits north east of the Catalan capital.
An emergency services spokesperson said: “The explosion happened at 8.25am and affected 15 people, 14 of whom were injured and one who died.”
Other reports said 15 had been injured. Two are believed to be in a serious condition.
Local media says the person who died, believed to be a middle-aged woman, lived on the second floor.
The building and neighbouring blocks have been evacuated.
It is currently unclear what caused the blast but gas technicians have reportedly investigated the site.
