Ghana: Gas Explosion in Accra Kills Seven, Injures Over 100
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Ghana's capital city of Accra, at least seven people were killed and
132 others injured Saturday, when an explosion ripped through a
state-owned liquefied natural gas station, sending a huge fireball into
the night sky and setting off a secondary explosion at a nearby filling
station. The blast was at least the eighth such explosion in Ghana over
the last four years. In 2015, a similar blast in Accra killed over 100
people.
