(UTV|COLOMBO) – Multiple people are reported to have been injured after a massive explosion rocked Paris this morning.

Emergency services raced to Rue de Treviso in the 9th district of the French capital after a blast at around 9am local time.

The cause of the explosion is not yet known, however there are reports that it was due to a gas leak in a bakery.
