A powerful gas station explosion in southeastern Rome injured at least 25 people, including 10 first responders. The blast, heard across the city early Friday morning, followed a reported gas leak and caused extensive damage, prompting evacuations of nearby buildings and a sports center. While some victims were seriously hurt, no life‑threatening conditions were reported. Authorities are investigating the cause, possibly linked to a previous gas leak during LPG unloading, CBS News has reported. Officials, including the mayor and prime minister, expressed concern and gratitude for emergency responders.
