Emergency services work at the scene of an explosion at Applegreen service station in the village of Creeslough in Co Donegal, Ireland, Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022. Authorities say at least seven people have been killed in an explosion at a gas station in a small village in northwest Ireland. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin said the death toll would likely rise. Eight people were hospitalized — one in critical condition — after the blast destroyed the Applegreen service station in the community of about 400 people near Ireland's rugged Atlantic coast. Emergency responders from Ireland and neighboring Northern Ireland joined in what police said Saturday was “search and recovery” operation.
