MOSCOW—A suspected gas explosion at an apartment building in southern Russia killed at least one person and injured two others early on Jan. 14, authorities said.
The blast on the top floor ripped through the nine-story building in the city of Shakhty, not far from the Ukrainian border, before dawn. One woman was killed and two people have been hospitalized, Rostov region governor Vasily Golubev said on state-owned Russian television.
