There was an explosion in the market in Tajikistan

An explosion occurred in a market in the Pyanj district, located in the south of Tajikistan, according to “Faraj”.

28 people were injured in the explosion of a gas balloon at a catering station in the market. Of those hospitalized, six are in critical condition and the rest are of moderate weight.

As the cause of the explosion, safety regulations are not observed when filling the balloon with gas.

In Tajikistan, there have been many cases of gas balloon explosions in residential buildings over the past few years, which have led to severe bodily injuries and even deaths of people.

In April, a gas balloon exploded in a two-story residential area in Janaozen, Kazakhstan, causing the building's podium to collapse, killing four people.
