Fire service workers continued rescue operations for the second day as the death toll of a powerful blast at a commercial building in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka rose to 30. Over 100 people were injured in the massive explosion at the Cafe Queen building in Gulistan's Siddique Bazar of old Dhaka. Two multi-storied buildings were damaged due to the explosion. None of the buildings reportedly collapsed completely, but the debris of the floors landed on pedestrians and caused serious injuries. Broken glass walls of several nearby buildings and shopping malls littered the road outside the building that exploded. A bus on the road's opposite side was also heavily damaged.
