An explosion gutted a residential building in Madrid on Friday, killing an elderly woman and injuring nine other people, authorities said.
Emergency services posted footage on social media showing firefighters crawling through rubble to rescue survivors from the top floor of a four-storey building in the Spanish capital’s Carabanchel neighbourhood.
The emergency services said they treated eight people for light injuries and that a 27-year-old man had been rushed to hospital.
Inmaculada Sanz, a councillor responsible for security and emergencies at Madrid town hall, told reporters at the scene that an elderly woman had died and ruled out further victims.
