Overview
- Mexico City authorities confirm the Coyoacán explosion was caused by an LP‑gas leak and accumulation inside a third‑floor apartment, with 11 people treated, three hospitalized, two discharged, and one man in delicate but stable condition with severe burns.
- Roughly 2,500 residents were evacuated after the shockwave damaged seven buildings and about 30 apartments, and the most‑affected structure remains taped, shored, and temporarily uninhabitable.
- The city will rehabilitate—not demolish—the primary building, and 24 families plus the concierge are receiving hotel lodging and temporary rental assistance as structural and prosecutorial assessments continue.
- Residents in the Taxqueña complex are being allowed brief, escorted access to retrieve essential belongings, with one adult per household entering alongside civil protection personnel.
- In Madrid’s Carabanchel district, crews have begun demolishing and clearing the building’s top floor after a gas explosion killed an 80‑year‑old woman and injured nine, with 32 flats evacuated and the National Police leading the investigation.
