A large explosion in Mexico has left at least one dead and 15 people injured as well as widespread damage to dozens of buildings.
"It is regrettable that one person has lost his/her life so far, and fifteen more are injured, due to the explosion of a Pemex pipeline in Puebla," Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a statement Sunday. "Pemex has the fire under control and will ensure that families evicted from their homes remain safe."
Search and rescue crews worked throughout Sunday to find people who might be trapped under collapsed buildings, ABC News reported. Around 1,400 soldiers, National Guard troops, police, firefighters and rescue personnel were on the scene since the initial explosion occurred.
