Pune: An elderly couple was injured when an LPG cylinder exploded after the leakage of gas from it in their house in Maharashtra's Pune city on Wednesday morning, a fire brigade official said.
The incident took place in the singe-room house located in Kasba Peth area around 8.30 am when an 85-year-old woman turned on the gas stove.
"The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder exploded, causing burn injuries to the woman and her 90-year-old husband," fire officer Sunil Naiknavare said.
They were rushed to a private hospital by the fire brigade personnel, he said.
The LPG might have leaked from the cylinder overnight and remained inside the room where the couple lives, he said.
