During Friday night prayers, a gas pipeline explosion near a mosque in Narayanganj district, Bangladesh, killed 17 people and injured dozens with critical burns, officials said on Saturday.

Fire service officials suspect the explosion was caused by leakage from the pipeline.

According to Dhaka’s state-run specialised burn and plastic-surgery hospital’s burn unit coordinator, Samanta Lal Sen, 17 people, including a seven-year-old boy, died due burn injuries by Saturday afternoon.

Sen also stated that the death toll could rise further as many of the victims were in critical condition, adding that at least 37 people had burns on up to 90 percent of their bodies.

The impact of the blast led to the explosion of at least six air conditioners inside the mosque, according to local TV stations.

Bangladeshi authorities have now launched an investigation into the blast.

Bangladesh has recorder hundreds of people being killed each year in fires.
