An explosion at a furniture workshop in Azerbaijan's capital Baku on Monday killed six people and injured two dozen others, officials said.
Video footage shared by the emergencies ministry showed rescuers lifting a man from the smouldering rubble of a burnt out building, while firefighters combed the wreckage for survivors.
"The bodies of six people have been found and removed from the rubble," the prosecutor's office said.
At least 24 people were injured, three of whom were pulled from the rubble, it said earlier.
The cause of the blast was not immediately clear but prosecutors said they had lanched a criminal investigation into a breach of "fire safety regulations".
The incident came a week after a blaze at a maternity clinic in Baku left four infants dead, a case the president vowed to personally oversee.
In April 2022, a gas tank explosion at a nightclub in the capital killed one person and injured 37 others.
