At least three people were killed and 10 others injured when a cooking gas tank exploded in a restaurant in the capital of the Philippines today, police said today.
The blast rocked the restaurant in Makati, near the busy Glorietta shopping mall, in Manila’s financial district at lunchtime, said metropolitan police chief Geary Barias.
Witnesses told radio stations they saw bloodied people being helped out of the restaurant and carried away in ambulances.
A press photographer saw two bodies covered with blankets.
