Overview
- The city attributes the blast to an LP-gas leak and accumulation in a third-floor apartment at Paseo de los Cipreses and Paseo de los Naranjos.
- Roughly 2,500 residents were evacuated as a precaution, with adjacent buildings cleared for return after inspections while the primary building remains closed.
- Eleven people received medical attention; two of three hospitalized patients were discharged, and one man remains in serious condition with burns to about 80% of his body.
- About 24 families and the building concierge are housed in hotels with temporary rental support and moving assistance arranged by local authorities.
- The Secretaría de Vivienda will lead structural repairs, with work slated to begin as early as January 12 as peritajes and technical reviews continue.
