MADRID: A gas explosion at a cafe in the southern Spanish town of Velez injured around 90 people, five of them seriously, rescue services said on Sunday.

Most of the injured suffered cuts from flying debris or bruising from falls as they fled in confusion.

Rescue services, which received dozens of calls from people fearing a terrorist attack, said five people were in a serious condition after the blast in the bistro’s kitchen.

Local daily Sur said an employee at the eatery had raised the alarm just moments before the blast but there was insufficient time to evacuate the venue.
