He wrote on Twitter that he gave his "full support" to the emergency services, adding: "Thoughts to the victims and their loved ones."

The Pyrenees-Orientales fire and rescue department said the explosion took place in the heart of Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque at around 1.30am.

It then caused a fire in the homes above a series of shops.

Images shared by the force online show the charred remains of an apartment block, with debris spilling out onto the street.
