US authorities said that at least 21 people were injured in an explosion that severely damaged a hotel in downtown Fort Worth, Texas, on Monday.
Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman Craig Trojasik said at a news conference that one person was in critical condition and two were in serious condition.
He added that eight others were slightly injured.
It was not clear what caused the explosion at the hotel, which occurred around 0330 p.m., although Trojasik said there was a “smell of gas in the area.”
