Dozens of people are feared to have been killed and around 100 injured after an explosion tore through a crowded bar during a New Year’s Eve party in the upscale ski resort of Crans-Swiss police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Italian foreign ministry said information from Swiss police indicated about 40 deaths, but police would not be more specific than “tens” at a press conference on the incident.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out at 1.30 am\u00a0(0630 PT) in a bar called “Le Constellation” in the resort in southwestern Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Some of the victims are from other countries, said Stephane Ganzer, head of security for the Valais canton. Authorities said 10 helicopters and 40 ambulances had been mobilised.<\/p>\n
Police had earlier said many people were being treated for burns. Most of those injured were in a serious condition, said Mathias Reynard, head of the cantonal government. Valais hospital intensive care unit was full, and patients were being transferred elsewhere, he said.<\/p>\n
The area has been completely closed off, and a no-fly zone has been imposed over Crans-Montana, police said in a statement, adding that the cause of the blast remained unclear.<\/p>\n
The explosion was being considered a fire and not an attack, prosecutor B\u00e9atrice Pilloud said later, adding that authorities were trying to get the bodies of the victims to their families.<\/p>\n
