At least 16 people, including children, have died due to gas leakage incidents in the past one week in Quetta city of Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province. On Wednesday, four children of a family died inside a mud-walled house after the gas leakage triggered an explosion in the Killi Badezai area in Quetta, police said. Two women were also injured in the incident. The children were sleeping when the gas filled the room and caused an explosion, leading to the collapse of the walls of the house, police said. In a separate incident, a police sub-inspector died after his room was filled with gas in another area of Quetta.

6 students, 2 others hospitalised after Carbon monoxide leak in Kansas

Six students and two adults were taken to a hospital for evaluation after a carbon monoxide leak was detected Wednesday at a Kansas City elementary school, officials said.

Sweden finds fourth leak on Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea

A fourth leak on the Nord Stream pipelines has been reported off southern Sweden, the Swedish news agency said on Thursday. Sweden's coast guards told news agency TT that they have a vessel on the site of the leak, off Sweden. All four detected leaks are in international waters, two near Sweden and two near Denmark. The Nord Stream pipelines run through the Baltic to transport gas from Russia to Germany. Neither pipeline was operating, but both were filled with gas. The Danish and Swedish governments believe that the leaks off their countries were deliberate actions. Before the leaks were reported, explosions were recorded. A first explosion was recorded by seismologists early on Monday southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. A second, stronger blast northeast of the island that night was equivalent to a magnitude-2.3 earthquake. Seismic stations in Denmark, Norway and Finland also registered the explosions. Some European officials and energy experts have said Russia is likel
