The explosion occurred last night at a residential complex in Bukan, a Kurdish-majority city in Iran’s West Azerbaijan province, the official IRNA news agency reported.

“So far, the bodies of six people, including two children, two men and two women who all belonged to the same family have been recovered from the rubble,” said the city’s fire chief Rasul Marofi.

“Three people injured in this incident have been taken to medical centers for treatment,” he added.

The main cause of the explosion is under investigation, Maroffi said, adding however that it “looked like a gas explosion”.
