Powerful explosions rocked the suburbs of Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, Wednesday morning, after several liquefied gas railcars caught fire, authorities confirmed. One person was injured, the fire and rescue department reported. Columns of smoke were visible across the city, with residents warned to stay indoors.
Interior Minister Vladislavas Kondratovičius told reporters that initial information suggested that “the fire was most likely caused by a violation of occupational safety conditions, but all versions are being investigated.”
