Eight people including three children were killed in a fire in northeastern Algeria caused by a household gas explosion, the country’s fire service said Tuesday.

The service said that the fire, partly fueled by a stock of basic materials for manufacturing cosmetics in one house in the town of Ain Oulmene, soon spread to three neighboring buildings.

According to the service, “the death toll so far is eight people burned to death: three women, two men and three children.”

Additionally, two people were injured.
