Today, investigations into the causes of last night’s explosion in a building in Makedonitissa continue, with the investigative team exploring all possibilities.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old who was injured in the powerful blast remains in a stable condition, out of danger.
According to the police, her health condition is stable, but she has burns all over her body.
It is recalled that two people were injured in a powerful explosion that occurred on the ground floor of a two-story building in Makedonitissa, just before seven yesterday evening.
A 20-year-old woman, who resided in the apartment where the explosion occurred, was injured and promptly transferred to Nicosia General Hospital.
In a post on social media, Andreas Kettis, the spokesperson for the Fire Service, stated that a second person was injured and taken for treatment at a private clinic.
The walls of the apartment collapsed due to the powerful explosion, causing disturbance to the neighbours.
The incident is likely due to a gas leak and explosion, as initially reported.
However, the Fire Service and the Police are conducting investigations to determine the exact circumstances under which this serious incident occurred.
