Seven persons, including four children, were killed and two others sustained injuries when the roofs of two houses collapsed in Mohallah Shah Qabool No2, Namakmandi, here early Wednesday.

Six of those killed included a couple and their four children while one woman died in the second house. The apparent reason for the collapse of the houses seemed to be an explosion caused by gas leakage. However, some police officials and locals said the buildings were in a dilapidated condition.
