Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Four members of the same family, including two young children, were killed in a gas explosion that caused their home to partially collapse in southern Italy.<\/p>\n

The tragedy occurred in the town of Saviano, near Naples, where a two-storey house was destroyed by the blast early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The victims include a boy and a girl, their mother, and their grandmother.<\/p>\n

Italian firefighters, the Vigili del Fuoco, said the father and a newborn baby were rescued alive from the rubble.<\/p>\n

The father remains in serious condition at a hospital in Naples, while the baby\u2019s injuries are not life-threatening, according to local media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parents and their three children lived on one floor of the house, while the grandmother lived on the floor above,\u201d the Vigili del Fuoco said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Rescue teams worked throughout the day and into the night to recover the victims, eventually locating the mother at 16:45 and the grandmother after midnight.<\/p>\n

The explosion occurred at around 07:00 local time (06:00 BST). The exact cause is still under investigation, but preliminary theories point to a gas explosion as the cause of the collapse.<\/p>\n

Drone footage from the scene showed large holes in the building\u2019s roof, with much of the structure reduced to rubble.<\/p>\n

Over 60 civil protection volunteers were involved in the rescue operation, which continued for hours with the assistance of sniffer dogs.<\/p>\n

The fire service shared images of rescue teams working into the night, carefully sifting through debris to avoid further collapses.<\/p>\n
