At least one person was killed on Sunday when a gas cylinder exploded |
|
in an iconic Moscow toy shop, state news agencies reported. |
|
|
|
The blast occurred at the Central Children’s Store, known by most |
|
Russians as the “Detsky Mir” toy shop. It is located on the |
|
Lubyanka square near to the headquarters of the Federal Security |
|
Service (FSB), the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB. |
|
|
|
“Sadly, according to preliminary information, as a result of the |
|
incident, there is a death and some people have been injured,” Moscow |
|
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. |
|
|
|
The toy shop building, which also houses a number of restaurants, shops |
|
and a cinema, has been evacuated, Russian news agencies reported. |
|
|
|
The Mash Telegram channel said that a helium cannister exploded. |
