A supermarket explosion killed at least 23 people in northern Mexico on Saturday, according to local officials, with investigators saying the blast was an accident possibly caused by a faulty electric transformer. "Sadly a number of the victims they have found were minors," governor of Sonora state stated.

The state prosecutor also said most victims had died of toxic gas inhalation. He confirmed in a video shared by his office that the dead include some minors, but did not elaborate as the process of identifying the bodies was still ongoing. The explosion happened at a Waldo's store in the city center.
