Six people have been taken to hospital after an explosion destroyed a shop in Leicester.
Police declared a "major incident" after reports of a blast in Hinckley Road just after 19:00 GMT on Sunday.
A police spokesman said: "At this stage there is no indication this is terrorist related."
Two of the six in hospital are in critical condition and the others are "walking wounded", said the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
Carlisle Street and part of Hinckley Road have been closed and people are being asked to avoid the area. Electricity has been cut off for a number of properties.
The fire is still burning and firefighters continue to search through the debris alongside police and paramedics.
