MADRID, Dec 3 (Reuters) - At least 21 people were seriously injured after a powerful gas blast partially destroyed a block of flats in a Barcelona suburb on Wednesday, the town's mayor Joaquim Balsera told a Spanish radio station.

Firemen were working to clear rubble from the front of the building in the Barcelona district of Gava in an effort to determine if more people were trapped under remains of the flats, Spanish media reported. (Reporting by Blanca Rodriguez; Writing by Paul Day; Editing by Matthew Jones)
