Explosion Shakes Buda Street, Hungarian Counter-Terrorism Centre Rushed to Scene
The Counter-Terrorism Centre (TEK) rushed to the scene yesterday after a workshop storing gas cylinders caught fire in Buda.

According to the disaster management authority, propane-butane gas and welding cylinders stored in an outbuilding on Diósdi utca in the 22nd District exploded.

Several of them were taken out of the burning building by the Budapest fire brigade, who extinguished the flames.

One acetylene cylinder was disposed of by a TEK sniper.
