Officials say the death toll after a powerful gas explosion that destroyed a three-story apartment building in eastern Czech Republic has risen to five.
Firefighters spokesman Petr Kudela said Monday rescuers working with sniffer dogs found three dead children and one more body burned beyond recognition. Another body was recovered Sunday.
Officials say 11 people were injured in the blast that occurred early Sunday in the town of Frenstat pod Radhostem.
One person is still missing.
Police spokeswoman Sona Stetinska said a gas leak apparently caused the blast, which heavily damaged the building early Sunday in the town of Frenstat pod Radhostem. Fire department spokesman Vladimir Vlcek said it would take hours to search the rubble of the building.
