Gas Canister Explosion at Spanish Bar Claims Lives of Two Women

In a tragic incident at the Casa Javi bar located in the popular Spanish resort of San Pedro del Pinatar, a gas canister exploded, leading to the deaths of two women and injuring 15 more. The 56-year-old British woman, an expat residing in the nearby coastal area of Lo Pagan, was reportedly at a market when she was caught in the blast. The local town hall confirmed her death, along with that of a 38-year-old Moroccan woman believed to be the bar's owner, who was identified simply as Hind.

Both women had been critically injured in the explosion prior to their deaths, and there have been unverified allegations concerning the incident, with claims that the seal on the butane gas cylinder may have been tampered with. Additionally, some locals have mentioned that the bar had a history of issues, with reports of frequent altercations occurring outside the establishment. This has further fueled speculation regarding whether the bar had additional unsavory activities associated with it. While the cause of the explosion remains under investigation, authorities are looking into the various claims and circumstances surrounding the incident.
