Two people have died after reports of an explosion in a garden.
Emergency services were called at 6.10pm on Friday to a house in Heol Fawr, Nelson, Caerphilly, south Wales.
Gwent Police said officers and firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene.
A spokesman said: "Two people have sadly been pronounced dead at the scene and their family has been informed."
The road, close to the centre of the village, remains closed as investigations continue.
