An explosion at a nightclub in the centre of Bucharest on Friday night has left at least 26 dead and 88 wounded, with some Romanian media reporting that the death toll could be as high as 40. At the time of the explosion there were 300 to 400 people in Colectiv Club. Some remain unaccounted for.
According to one witness speaking to Romanian media, a pyrotechnic display around the stage set light to nearby objects. The witness said that less than five minutes after the explosion, firefighters were on the scene.
People are still being treated on the streets outside, and Romania’s interior minister, Gabriel Oprea, is at the scene, along with emergency services.
Romanian media are reporting that a code red warning has been issued, with off-duty doctors and nurses at nearby hospitals being called in to help deal with the emergency.
Many of the victims didn’t have ID on them, so the government has set up a hotline for those who believe that their loved ones may have been at the club.
