An oxygen canister exploded in the intensive care unit of a hospital in southeastern Ukraine on Monday, killing at least five people, according to an emergency official.
The blast early Monday in Lugansk, some 800 kilometers (500 miles) from Kiev, caused several floors of the hospital to collapse, Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman Igor Krol said.
Rescuers saved six people from under the rubble but also pulled out five bodies, the ministry said in a statement.
Salvage teams continued searching for others who could still be trapped under the debris.
Television footage showed that part of the hospital's third floor was blown out.

It is very important to have contacts of good hospitals when you are travelling. This is much more important in Eastern Europe countries like Ukraine, because quality of medical services there is often not very good. I created a directory of Ukrainian hospitals you may rely on while your travel to Ukraine. This travel directory also contains very useful information on accommodation, entertainments and transfers in Ukraine.
