Gas canister explosion in Berlin apartment injures one resident
A gas canister explosion in a Berlin apartment left one person injured on Tuesday. The incident took place in the Hellersdorf district, where emergency services quickly responded to the scene. Authorities later confirmed the blast was caused by improper use of a camping stove inside the flat. The explosion happened in a residential building on Quedlinburger Straße. A gas canister from a portable camping stove ignited, triggering the blast. Police and firefighters arrived shortly after reports of the incident.
One person suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. Two tenants were initially detained for questioning but were released once investigations confirmed the cause. The building’s structure remained intact, and no evacuation was required. After inspecting the site, authorities declared the apartment safe. Residents were allowed to return once the operation concluded. The *Bild* newspaper had previously covered the case before official details were released.
The explosion was linked to the misuse of a gas stove, with no major damage to the building. One individual received medical care for light injuries, while the affected flat was cleared for reoccupation. Investigations into the incident have now concluded.
