An explosion in a commercial building in Tokyo on June 3 injured several people. The blast occurred around 10:30 am local time in the busy Shimbashi district, causing panic and extensive damage to the building.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, treating the injured and evacuating the area. At least 4 individuals have been reported injured, with varying degrees of severity. The injured have been taken to nearby hospitals for medical care.
The cause of the explosion is currently under investigation, with authorities working to determine if it was accidental or intentional. Forensic experts have been deployed to gather evidence, while witness statements are being collected.
"The sound was deafening. It was as if something huge was dropped from the top of the building -- it was an incredible bang," a male eyewitness told public broadcaster NHK.
"Pieces of paper were scattered all over at the nearby intersection. From the way they were scattered, I immediately knew it was an explosion," he said.
The affected area has been cordoned off, and authorities have advised the public to avoid it.
