A sudden, powerful blast tore through a sneaker shop in Surabaya’s San Antonio area, Indonesia, leaving a wreckage that could have been seen in real‑time via CCTV footage.
Police say the most likely cause was a gas leak; no suspicious substances or explosives were found at the scene. Five people were rushed to hospital, and the explosion damaged at least 41 adjacent buildings.
Authorities are still probing the incident, keeping residents on high alert while the city’s emergency services work to clear debris and restore power.
