At least seven people were killed and five others were injured when three residential buildings collapsed following an explosion on Sunday in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The explosion, which occurred at 03:00 a.m. local time in a two-story building, completely leveled the building and two neighboring ones, said Mohammad-Baqer Honarbar, director general of East Azarbaijan province's Crisis Management Organization.
He added that the explosion also caused damage to 100 nearby buildings, shattering windows.
The authorities are still investigating the cause of the explosion, the Fars news agency noted, adding that two of the injured had been transferred to medical centers.
Meanwhile, the official news agency IRNA said one person was pulled out alive from the rubble as rescue work continues.
