Three people were killed and about a dozen others are missing in an early Saturday morning explosion at a block of flats on the island of Jersey, off the coast of northern France. "Three people have died, I'm sorry," Robin Smith, the state's chief of police in Jersey, told a news conference. The explosion happened just before 4 pm and the fire is now doused.
Investigation into the cause of the explosion
Smith said emergency services were searching for survivors. He confirmed that fire services had been called on Friday evening before the blaze after residents reported smelling gas. He did not comment on the cause of the explosion, saying it would be investigated.
Smith said a three-story building near the port in the island's capital, St Helier, completely collapsed. He said that 20 to 30 people were evacuated and the injured are receiving treatment in the hospital. Jersey is a British Crown Dependency with a population of just over 100,000.
