At least seven people were killed and more than 10 were injured on Saturday when a vehicle’s gas cylinder exploded near the Government College of Commerce in Punjab’s Sargodha district, Aaj News reported.

The injured were shifted to the Bhalwal Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital. Police said that the explosion took place due to a gas leak from the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder.

Last year in October, at least 18 people were killed and dozens injured after a passengers bus caught fire near Nooriabad in Jamshoro district.

The passengers were flood-affected people returning to Khairpur Nathan Shah from Karachi.
