A gas leak explosion rocked the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) in Islamabad, Pakistan, injuring seven people, including five students. The blast occurred around 4 pm in a prayer room near a clerk’s office.
The explosion was caused by a gas leak that ignited when the university’s gas connection was turned on after the summer break. The injured include a clerk with severe burn injuries and five students with minor injuries.
Emergency services responded quickly, and the fire was brought under control. The damage was contained to a single room, and the rest of the building was not affected.
The police are investigating the incident and have ruled out the use of explosives. The university has been instructed to check all gas lines and connections to prevent similar incidents in the future.
