Two of the injured were in a critical condition, news agencies said.

The cause of the incident would be determined after fire fighters complete their investigation. Fire fighters suspect two people may have been trapped inside when the explosion occurred, Anatolian Agency reported.

The governor of Eskisehir, Mehmet Kiliclar, earlier said the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

The explosion also blew out the windows of multi-storey buildings, mostly residential, in the vicinity of the warehouse.
