Morning after the Atomic Junction gas explosion

At least 3 people have been confirmed dead and 35 more critically injured at the 37 military hospital where victims of the accident were rushed to.

Two filling stations at Atomic junction Saturday night were engulfed in flames after a gas station around the area exploded.

The explosion began at a state-owned GOIL liquefied natural gas station and spread to a Total petrol station across the street, sending a giant fireball high into the night sky and forcing frightened residents to flee.
