Six killed in restaurant when gas heater exploded just before closing

Six people died and eight were injured when a gas cylinder exploded at a restaurant in Czechia.

The U Kojota restaurant was about to close after Saturday night service when a propane-butane heater fell over and blew up in the northwest city of Most.

‘Flames were shooting out of the windows, and there were injured people on the street’, fire service spokesperson Petr Pelikus said.
