MILAN (AP) — An explosion at a fuel depot in the central Italian region of Tuscany on Monday killed at least two people and injured 14 others, authorities said.
The blast collapsed a building with offices, where three people were believed missing, regional environmental official Monia Monni told SKY TG24.
The explosion happened at an ENI fuel depot north of Florence, sending a dark plume of smoke into the air. Witnesses kilometers away reported a large bang and tremors.
Italy’s ENI oil company said the cause of the blast at the depot in Calenzano, near Florence, was under investigation.
