A devastating gas cylinder explosion in Islamabad, Pakistan, has resulted in the deaths of at least eight people, including a newlywed couple, their family members, and neighbors. The incident occurred early Sunday morning at a house where the wedding party was staying after the celebration. The explosion, caused by a suspected gas leak, led to the collapse of part of the building, trapping victims under rubble and causing extensive damage to neighboring homes. The bride and groom, who had married the previous day, along with their family members, were sleeping at the time of the blast. Rescue operations involved sniffer dogs and advanced technology to ensure all victims were recovered. Emergency services reported more than a dozen injuries. Pakistani officials, including Senate Chairman Yusuf Raza Gilani, emphasized the need for stricter safety measures regarding gas cylinder use, which is common in Pakistani households but linked to numerous deadly accidents. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed sorrow over the tragedy and ordered a full investigation. Authorities are still determining whether the explosion was caused by a gas cylinder or a leak, and investigations are ongoing.
