The explosion took place at a bakery on Rue de Trevise in the 9th arrondissement of the French capital at 8:30 a.m. local time on January 12, as firefighters were responding to a gas-leak report.

Local authorities said it killed two firefighters and a Spanish tourist. At least 47 were wounded, of whom about 10 were in critical condition. The bakery was destroyed completely, while serious damage was caused to the building housing it as well as surrounding buildings and vehicles.
