At least seven people, including women and children, were killed after a passenger van caught fire in central Pakistan when its liquefied petroleum gas cylinder exploded due to a leak, police said on July 8. “The dead include three children and two women,” said Rizwan Hasan, a spokesman for the rescue department. The accident took place in the Sargodha district of Punjab. Hasan said another 10 people with burn injuries were taken to nearby hospitals.
