Lucknow, June 11: Six persons - two children and four women - were killed in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh district on Monday when a cooking gas cylinder exploded at a community kitchen set up during a religious congregation, police said.

The accident at Chakbagali village also left more than a dozen people with serious burn injuries, including three whose condition is stated to be critical.

Prima facie, the accident seems to have taken place due to leakage in the gas cylinder which led to a fire and then the explosion, a police official told IANS.

A probe has been ordered by the district administration.

Beirut, Nov 26: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will recommend a proposal for a cease-fire with Hezbollah to his Cabinet for approval, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting.

Netanyahu said the vote was expected later Tuesday. It was not immediately clear when the ceasefire would go into effect, and the exact terms of the deal were not released. The deal does not affect Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which shows no signs of ending.
