BREAKING: Massive Explosion ROCKS Rome As Gas Depot Blast Injures Police, Firefighter And Civilians
Panic swept through Rome’s Prenestino district after a thunderous explosion rocked a gas and fuel depot, lighting up the night sky with a fiery orange blast.
The explosion, which was reportedly heard far beyond the city limits, sent debris of glass, iron, and smoke into the air, triggering chaos across the area.
According to Corriere della Sera, at least eight police officers and one firefighter were injured while responding to the emergency.
Residents described scenes of horror as they ran for cover from flying metal and shattering windows.
The fire, still active, is being battled by emergency crews as investigations are underway.
Authorities are yet to confirm the exact cause of the blast.
This alarming incident has raised major questions about urban safety standards around fuel storage facilities.
Italy’s civil protection agency remains on high alert.
A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

A devastating explosion tore through Rome’s Prenestino-Centocelle neighborhood on Thursday, injuring more than 35 people, including police and firefighters. The blast erupted during an LPG unloading operation at a local gas station, sending a massive orange fireball into the sky and hurling glass and metal debris across the area.
Rai News and Corriere della Sera confirm that emergency crews were already evacuating the site before the detonation, likely saving lives. Nearby Metro stop Teano was shut down as authorities cordoned off the area and battled ongoing flames. Eyewitnesses described the moment as “hellish,” with shockwaves felt far beyond the city’s eastern quarters. The blast reignited safety concerns over urban fuel depots in populated residential zones. An investigation into the exact cause is underway as Rome reels from one of the city’s most chaotic emergencies in recent years.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a firm and unexpected warning to Vladimir Putin during high-level talks at the White House, stunning President Trump and other leaders with what appeared to be a sharp U-turn in Italy’s stance. Declaring “Italy stands with Ukraine,” Meloni reaffirmed her country’s commitment to supporting Kyiv, while cautioning that “Russia should not be rewarded for aggression.” Her remarks reportedly caught Trump off guard, injecting new energy—and new tensions—into the already high-stakes discussions on the future of the war.
