Man dies after Alloa explosion

A man has died after an explosion at a block of flats in Alloa.

Emergency services were called to Kellie Place last night.

Three people were taken to hospital.

Residents of nearby flats have been put up in Alloa Town Hall, while work is carried out at the site of the blast.

Police declared a major incident last night, but this has now been stood down.

The cause of the explosion is not yet known.

Sergeant Neill Drummond said: "We are still working to establish the full circumstances of what happened at this property, however, we can confirm that one male has passed away.

"Our inquiries to confirm his identity and provide his next of kin with all the necessary support they may require are ongoing.

"We are grateful to the local community for their continued co-operation and support of our investigation, and we'll provide more information in due course."
