At least five people were killed and dozens injured in Iran on Saturday after two separate explosions rocked the country, blasts that Iranian officials claimed were caused by gas leaks.

Iranian state media reported that a residential building in Bandar Abbas, a southern port city, exploded, leaving one person dead and 14 injured. Footage of the aftermath shows at least three floors of the building completely exposed, with rubble spilling into the parking lot and damaging nearby vehicles.
