Nine people were injured and one person was buried under rubble on Monday morning after an explosion occurred in a supermarket in a village in Austria's Tyrol province.
First reports indicated that the blast in St. Jodok am Brenner was caused by a worker drilling into a gas pipe, but this has not been confirmed by police.
None of those injured was seriously hurt, although public broadcaster ORF reported that a fire broke out in the building after the explosion.
The western province of Tyrol borders both on Germany and Italy and is famous for its mountainous landscape and picturesque villages.
