Two people died and nine were injured after an explosion on Monday at a fuel depot facility near Florence owned by Italian energy firm Eni, the president of the Tuscany region said. Three people remain missing, APA reports citing Reuters.
"All of Tuscany is united in grief for the tragedy that happened today," Eugenio Giani wrote in a social media post.
The explosion in Calenzano, on the northern outskirts of the Tuscan capital, occurred in an area where trucks load fuel to be taken to petrol stations. Other depots nearby were not affected.
"Otherwise, the outcome would have been more tragic," Giani told reporters.
Three of the wounded were in life-threatening condition, regional health authorities said.
