A gas cylinder was found in the apartment, which has caught the attention of emergency services.

The public prosecutor’s office has completed its review of the explosion and found that it was an accident. Because of this, they will not hire a fire expert to look into it any further. Their decision means there is no evidence of any crime or bad intentions.
Even with the strange situation of the gas cylinder in the apartment, authorities believe this was not planned. Therefore, they are treating the case as an accident instead of a criminal issue.
The investigation will now look into how the explosion happened since there is no sign of bad intentions. The prosecutor decided to focus on helping the injured man get better and checking safety issues to stop similar accidents from happening again in the future.
