Huge Explosion Hits Building - Paris

A strong explosion ignited a blaze on Wednesday that sent smoke soaring over the domed Pantheon monument and prompted the evacuation of buildings in the neighbourhood. Officials said 33 people were injured, four of them critically, while two more were missing. The explosion hit a design school popular with foreign students in the French capital's 5th arrondissement, or district, on the edge of the Latin Quarter, causing the building to collapse. Rescue workers were in the evening still searching the rubble for two missing individuals who had not been accounted for. Paris, France, June 21, 2023. Photo by Karim Ait Adjedjou/ABACAPRESS.COM
