Two Explosions at Almería Bar Kill One, Injure Three

Police are investigating a suspected gas cylinder blast.

Overview

  • The twin blasts at La Posada bar in central Almería on Wednesday afternoon left one person dead and three injured.
  • Authorities said one explosion hit the café and another struck an adjacent garage, sparking a fire, damaging nearby cars, and causing a partial façade collapse.
  • The person who died was an 81-year-old passerby, and the bar’s owner suffered severe burns and was transferred to a hospital in Seville.
  • Another victim was treated for smoke inhalation, and a third person was taken to a local health centre near the bullring.
  • Investigators are focusing on a possible gas cylinder cause, with forensic teams collecting evidence Thursday morning as the area remains cordoned off.
