A liquefied petroleum gas tank exploded at a five-star Mediterranean hotel today, killing one Turkish hotel worker and injuring 10 people, including five tourists, private Dogan news agency has reported.

The explosion damaged the kitchen and the restaurant of the Kaya Hotel in the resort town of Belek, near the city of Antalya, Anatolia news agency said. A butcher in the kitchen was killed, and five other staff members as well as five tourists — three Germans and two Russians — were injured, Dogan has said.

Ambulances and firefighters are reported to have rushed to the scene to evacuate the hotel. CNN-Turk said that workers had replaced a giant liquefied petroleum gas tank at the hotel only days ago.

Belek resort is popular with German, Israeli and Russian tourists.
