The residents have been temporarily accommodated in hotels due to an explosion in a residential building on Samtredia Street in Tbilisi, the Tbilisi City Hall reported.

 

The explosion occurred early in the morning at the residential building located at Samtredia Street #2 in the Didubi district.

 

“The building houses 93 families, but fortunately, no injuries have been reported.

 

Prompt evacuation measures were undertaken, ensuring the affected population’s safety. The Didubi district administration promptly arranged temporary accommodation for the residents in nearby hotels.

 

The current status of the building is under assessment to determine whether residents can return to their homes or if temporary relocation will be necessary until the building undergoes necessary strengthening measures.
