MEXICO CITY (AP) — A powerful gas tank truck explosion shattered a maternity and children's hospital in Mexico City on Thursday, killing at least three adults and one baby and injuring dozens.

Claudia Dominguez, spokeswoman for the city's civil defense agency, confirmed the deaths and said she expected an updated toll soon.

She said she could not confirm the report by the local borough chief, Adrian Rubalcava, that seven had died

Rescuers continued digging through the rubble even as smoke rose from remaining fires.
