HAAPSALU - Three minors sustained light
injuries in a hookah explosion in the West Estonian town of Haapsalu.
The incident happened shortly before 3 a.m. July 26 in an
apartment in Kastani Street, the West prosecutor's office said. "The
criminal probe has so far established that the explosion was caused by using a
substance not intended for this purpose to light the hookah," a
spokesperson told the Baltic News
Service.
The three minors were taken to hospital but released after receiving
first aid.
"Nobody has so far been questioned as suspect in the
case. Preliminary information indicates that the substance which caught fire
and exploded was used out of ignorance. An expert study will establish what
substance was involved," the spokesperson said.
Police have launched a criminal probe into the incident.
