The gas station in the region of the capital Armenia, Yerevan exploded, causing 7 people to be injured. Smoke soared high due to the explosion triggered by this burning liquid gas.

More than 30 firefighters were deployed to a gas station that provided liquefied gas supply for Russian energy company Gazprom.

"Actions to cool and extinguish the fire are underway," said a spokesman for the interior ministry of Armenia, Narek Sargsyan, quoted from Metro.co.uk, Friday, June 7.

The location of the gas station is located in Abokyan, Kotai. As a result of the explosion, the gas supply for local residents was temporarily suspended.

The Governor of Kotaki, Aaron Sahakyan, said that before the incident the gas station had been reprimanded due to interference.

Sahakyan also regretted that the gas station was also in the process of resolving problems at trial but was still operating.

"We have sent more than once reports that the gas station was problematic," said Sahakyan.

"Unfortunately, the owner did not admit this and went to court," he continued.

The Armenian Ministry of Health said that so far it had recorded a total of seven victims, including two seriously injured being treated in intensive care units.
