Worshippers 'trapped' after Leicester temple blast
Worshippers are believed to be trapped after an explosion and fire at a Hare Krishna temple in Leicester.
A third of the terraced property on Thoresby Street has been destroyed and is too unstable for crews to enter.
Specialist rescue teams and equipment, including search dogs and thermal imaging cameras, are being used to establish if any casualties are inside.
A wide cordon is in place around the building, which is still on fire, according to eyewitnesses.
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Fire Service confirmed they have had reports people were inside the temple at the time of the blast.
