An explosion ripped through a film and TV school building in the Czech capital of Prague while classes were in session Monday morning, injuring dozens of people and prompting evacuations of nearby buildings, city fire officials said.
At least two people were unaccounted for, and authorities were working on stabilizing the Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts building so rescuers could search for them in the rubble, fire department spokeswoman Pavlina Adamcova said.
The blast at the school in the center of the city was "most likely a gas explosion," Prague police spokesman Tomas Hulan said on state-run Czech TV.
