Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported that according to a source at the Ambulance Service Department, a burst gas cylinder was to blame for the blast, which happened shortly after 10 a.m. Among the injured, there are reported to be three critical cases, 16 medium and 13 others.

Quite an explosion from the reports...
