A six-year-old boy died in the early hours of Sunday to Monday in Granada. The fire occurred in the house where he slept with his mother, who has been seriously injured.

Early indications point to a gas explosion as a possible cause of the flames, according to firefighters. The flames have forced the eviction of 40 neighbors, who have already returned to their homes. The events occurred on the third floor of a residential block on Circunvalación Encina Street, in the neighborhood of La Chana.
