Four people were injured and one person was missing after a suspected gas explosion blew up a house on Monday morning in southwestern Germany.
The powerful explosion in Stuttgart's western district completely destroyed a house and caused significant damage to other houses and cars parked on the street.
Four people, including two children, were taken to hospital, but they did not have life-threatening injuries, a police spokesman told reporters at the scene.
A 85-year-old woman was still missing as firefighters were continuing searches in the rubble.
