PARIS—French rescue workers searched Thursday for a person feared missing after a powerful blast brought down a building on Paris’ Left Bank, injuring more than 30 people, six of them critically.

Investigators were working to determine the cause of Wednesday’s explosion. A possible gas leak was one of the theories under investigation.
