(MTI) – Sixteen flats were rendered uninhabitable by a gas explosion which virtually erased the upper floor and attic of a three-storey block of flats in northern Budapest’s district 13 on Monday.

The disaster management authority said that seven inhabitants have been provided temporary accommodation.
