Seoul Complex Hit By Gas Explosion

Compiled From Wire Services

A gas explosion late Saturday night injured four people and damaged 10 homes at a Seoul apartment building.

Hundreds of residents at the seven-story complex were evacuated, and 300 police and firefighters battled flames for over two hours.

It was not immediately known what caused the liquid petroleum gas - used at many older homes and buildings for cooking and heating - to explode.
