A loud roar shook the buildings of Milan in the Piazzale Libia area, not far from Porta Romana, around 7 this morning. The outbreak occurred on the ground floor of a nine-story building, but the first three floors of the building were also involved, at number 20 of the square. A 30-year-old man suffered severe burns. It must have been a gas leak that caused the explosion. The loud roar was heard up to Romulus, more than a kilometer away. It is unclear if the explosion occurred in the building’s basement or on the ground floor, where there is a dental office and a studio apartment where a child lives for rent. It is the most serious of the 6 injured in the toll carried out so far by rescuers. He was rushed to hospital with burns and shock, but is not expected to endanger his life.
