An explosion Wednesday night in Alcanar Platja is believed to be linked to Las Ramblas attack in Barcelona, regional authorities have said. Initially, police presumed it was a gas leak that caused the destruction of a house that lead to at least one death and several injuries.

According to reports in the Spanish media, authorities were working under the assumption that a butane gas leak caused the blast. The deceased is believed to have been of Moroccan origin.

Briefing the press following the attack in Barcelona, head of the Catalan police (Mosses), Josep Lluis Trapero, said the explosion which occurred some 120 miles south of Barcelona is related to the Las Ramblas tragedy.

Documents found by police among the rubble have made it possible to establish the link, local media reported. Neighbors at the sight of Wednesday’s explosion maintain the house was inhabited by two brothers of Maghreb origin.
