Police officers sent to evict three siblings killed in gas explosion in Italy
Three police officers have been killed after they opened a door to a rural Italian farmhouse that had been intentionally filled with gas, igniting a massive explosion.
The Italian carabinieri officers had been sent to the property near the northeastern city of Verona to evict three siblings who had occupied the abandoned building about a year ago. Another 11 carabinieri (the national militarised police force of Italy), three state police officers and a firefighter were also injured in the blast.
Verona's carabinieri commander, Colonel Claudio Pagano, said the action of the people inside was "an absolutely crazy gesture". He added: "While our carabinieri were carrying out a judicial order, they were hit by an intentional explosion of a gas tank." Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and defence minister Guido Crosetto each expressed their condolences for the deaths of the carabinieri.
In an X post, Ms Meloni said it was with "deep sorrow" that she had learned of "the developments of this dramatic affair.
