Overview
- An LP gas accumulation in a third-floor apartment in Paseos de Taxqueña triggered the Jan. 9 blast at Paseo de los Cipreses and Paseo de los Naranjos.
- The SGIRPC reports 11 people received medical attention, including three hospitalized, though some coverage cites five injuries with two hospital transfers.
- The shockwave damaged seven buildings, with about 30 apartments reporting broken glass and fixtures, and roughly 2,500 people evacuated from around 280 units.
- Authorities consider the most affected building uninhabitable for now, moving at least 24 families to hotels and offering financial aid and supplies at a command post in Parque de la Montaña.
- The area remains cordoned as fire, civil protection and city agencies carry out structural inspections, with reentry contingent on assessments by public works and housing officials.
