The blast, which occurred yesterday, was thought to have been the result of a gas tank exploding at the restaurant located in the north of the city.

Those impacted were inside the restaurant at the time of the explosion and were transferred to hospital, authorities said in a statement. Officials added the "number of people injured may rise," but confirmed that nobody is trapped in the building, which partially collapsed.
