Blast hits gas station in south Azerbaijan
BAKU – A powerful explosion hit a gas-filling station in Azerbaijan’s southern Lankaran region in the early hours on Friday, severely injuring three people.

The blast split the truck into pieces, which damaged nearby homes.
The blaze was extinguished three hours after the explosion.
