Leicester Police confirmed that four people were
killed in the explosion and urge people not to comment about the cause of the blast as it's an on-going investigation in a joint operation with firefighters.
About sixty properties have allegedly been evacuated as part of emergency response to ensure the safety of the people living near the epicenter.
A witness, Savannah George, 17, who is an employee at a nearby shop spoke to Mirror Online:
“I just took a phone order and put it up with the others to be made and the next thing there was a massive explosion,”
“I just saw a load of rubble coming down. The ceiling in the shop next to me collapsed. If I was 50cm to the left, the rubble would have fallen on me."
“The takeaway boxes flew off the wall from the force and the ceiling in our store partially collapsed.”
