Two people sustained minor injuries early Wednesday morning after a gas explosion inside a flat in [L'Hospitalet de Llobregat](https://www.l-h.cat/inici.aspx?ref=barna.news), a city bordering Barcelona. Emergency services quickly responded to the incident on Avenida Severo Ochoa.

The Sistema d'Emergències Mèdiques (SEM) and the [Bombers de la Generalitat](https://interior.gencat.cat/ca/arees%5Fdactuacio/bombers/?ref=barna.news) confirmed the incident. The explosion caused a partition wall to collapse, however, it did not result in "serious structural damage" to the building, according to the fire service.

SEM personnel attended to five individuals at the scene. Two of these required hospital transport. One person went to [Hospital Vall d'Hebron](https://www.vallhebron.com/en?ref=barna.news) in Barcelona, and the other to Hospital General de l'Hospitalet.

## Incident Details and Local Impact

The 112 emergency line received the alert at 00:24, reporting a gas fire affecting a flat on Avenida Severo Ochoa. L'Hospitalet de Llobregat is Catalonia's second-largest city by population, home to over 260,000 residents. It forms a key part of the Barcelona metropolitan area, with many residents commuting daily into the capital for work or study.
